Overview
- Sigma opened in Tamil and Telugu on Friday, October 2, as Jason Sanjay’s feature directorial debut, produced by Lyca Productions and starring Sundeep Kishan and Faria Abdullah with music by Thaman and cinematography by Krishnan Vasant.
- Sundeep Kishan publicly accused what he called a coordinated, “paid” campaign of negative tweets on October 1, but he did not name anyone and there is no independent verification of the claim.
- Jason Sanjay watched the first-day-first-show with his mother Sangeetha and sister Divya while Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay skipped the screening and later publicly held up a framed Sigma photo during a Madhurandhagam roadshow as a visible sign of support.
- Trade figures from Sacnilk, cited across outlets, report a Day 1 India net of about Rs 2.35 crore, a domestic gross near Rs 2.70 crore, 221,679 footfalls from 1,813 shows and roughly 31.1 percent overall occupancy.
- Early reactions are mixed with consistent praise for Sundeep Kishan’s performance and divided views on Jason Sanjay’s direction, so strong weekend turnout and positive word-of-mouth will be crucial to the film’s box-office trajectory and wider reception.
