When "Sigma" hit screens on October 2, the chatter was all about Vijay’s son, but the numbers told a different story. Opening day net tally of ₹2.35 Cr came in under the 3‑crore mark that many Tamil releases aim for, and the weekend saw a flat ₹1.50 Cr each for Saturday and Sunday.
By Monday, the film had pulled in a total net of ₹6.19 Cr across 1,520 shows, according to Sacnilk. The gross hovered just above ₹7 Cr, a modest gain that kept the film alive but nowhere near a blockbuster. For a first‑time director, the steady climb is respectable, though it pales against the high‑expectation backdrop set by the CM’s son.
The roadshow moment that made the news was as much about politics as cinema. Vijay, in Madhurandhagam, lifted a framed photo of his son’s film and waved it above his head for the crowd, a symbolic nod that kept the press buzzing. Jason later told Pearle Maaney that his father usually takes time to digest a film before speaking, hinting that the eventual verdict might be kinder.
The cast, led by Sundeep Kishan and Faria Abdullah, carries most of the on‑screen weight, while seasoned actors like Sampath Raj and Shiv Panditt add depth. Produced by Subaskaran under Lyca Productions, "Sigma" attempts a blend of romance and drama, but critics note that the pacing feels uneven in places.
All in all, "Sigma" is a cautious start for Jason Sanjay. The numbers suggest an average opening, yet the film still has a few weeks to find its footing in the crowded Tamil market. Next week, the second weekend’s haul will be a clearer barometer of its staying power.
