Sundeep Kishan, who usually keeps his fans on their toes, takes centre stage in 'Sigma' as the film launches on October 2, 2026. The buzz around the release was as explosive as the opening credits, with fans lining up at Kamala Cinemas to catch a glimpse of the director’s first film.
Jason Sanjay, the eldest son of superstar Vijay, steps behind the camera for the first time, hoping to carve a niche beyond his father's legacy. The weight of expectations is palpable, and the director’s attempt at blending a heist thriller with comedy feels like a high‑stakes gamble.
The story follows a ragtag crew planning a daring casino heist, with Kishan’s character injecting swagger and a dose of slapstick that lands on the screen like a punchline. The cinematography by Krishnan Vasant stitches the high‑octane chase scenes with slick frames, while Thaman’s soundtrack keeps the adrenaline humming.
Yet critics are not shy about pointing out the film’s rough edges. One Twitter user, @SmartBarani, slammed the screenplay as 'generic and outdated', giving the flick a 2.25/5 rating. The interval block and carnival sequence were praised as bright spots, but the rest of the narrative felt like a tired trope.
On the flip side, social media erupted with praise for Kishan’s 'mass feast' performance. @charan_tweetzz called the action 'pure theatre stuff' and the interval 'a proper mass feast', while @umashankar82721 described Kishan as 'hilarious' and the comedy 'working out well'. The film’s energy seems to resonate with audiences who crave larger‑than‑life entertainment.
So, while 'Sigma' may not win every critic’s heart, it has sparked conversation both on the screen and online. Fans will be watching whether Jason Sanjay can refine his craft in future projects, and the box‑office will decide whether the audience’s love outweighs the skepticism.
