Sigma opens today — not with a bang, but with the quiet hum of a film that’s been waiting. The directorial debut of Thalapathy Vijay’s son Jason Sanjay arrives on October 2, 2026, after being pushed back from July 31 to avoid clashing with Drishyam 3. It’s a move that speaks less of strategy and more of survival: in a market where one big release can swallow another whole, Sigma didn’t just dodge a storm, it arrived in its wake. And now, it has to stand on its own. So how did it do? Mixed. That’s the only word that fits. Sundeep Kishan is all kinetic energy. A man who runs through heists like they’re cardio. Faria Abdullah holds her ground with a calm that feels almost defiant in a genre built on chaos. The screenplay moves fast. That’s the one thing everyone agrees on. But beyond that, the consensus fractures. One fan called it a ‘gripping theatrical experience’. Another said it was ‘strictly average’, with an outdated story and a directorial style that feels stuck in the past. Thaman S’s music? A low point, according to at least one reviewer who called it his worst work yet. Box office-wise, it’s not a disaster. Pre-sales hit ₹5.21 crore gross (six days), with ₹4.30 crore without block seats. That’s decent for a debut, especially one released in the shadow of a franchise reboot. Expectations are modest: ₹4–5 crore on Day One. If evening shows pull in crowds, it could edge higher. But there’s no momentum here, just a film testing the waters. And then there’s the presence of Sangeetha Sornalingam, Vijay’s estranged wife, spotted at a Chennai theatre on Friday morning. No statement. No comment. Just a face in the crowd, watching her son’s first step into the spotlight. Vijay hasn’t spoken. Not yet. But the silence says something too. What happens next? The numbers will tell. But more than that, the audience will decide if this is a promising start or just another name in the long list of films that opened quietly and vanished.
