Koimoi's final tally puts the Tamil film's gross at Rs 10.53 crore against a reported Rs 30 crore budget, a 70% shortfall as the run ends.
Sigma is done. Jason Sanjay's first film as director, with Sundeep Kishan headlining, has wrapped its theatrical run at Rs 8.92 crore net in India, according to Koimoi's closing report filed Tuesday, October 21. That converts to a gross of Rs 10.53 crore. Overseas numbers never showed up in any meaningful way.
Against a reported production budget of Rs 30 crore, the film has recovered just 29.73% of its cost. Koimoi's math puts the shortfall at Rs 21.08 crore, a deficit of 70.27%. By any trade yardstick, that's a flop.
The film opened October 2, going up against Vijay Sethupathi's Baththa on a Gandhi Jayanti holiday that should have helped. Koimoi's closing report lists an opening day net of Rs 2.35 crore. It slid from day two and never recovered, closing out its first week at Rs 8.23 crore net. By the time the second weekend arrived, there was barely anything left to collect.
The interest, such as it was, always traced back to one name. Jason Sanjay is the elder son of Tamil Nadu chief minister Joseph Vijay, who ended his own acting career with his final release back in July. The pedigree got people curious. It didn't get them back for a second ticket.
Sigma is written and directed by Jason Sanjay, produced by Lyca Productions. Thaman S. Composed the music, Krishnan Vasant shot it, Praveen KL edited. The cast beyond Sundeep Kishan includes Raju Sundaram, Shiv Pandit, Faria Abdullah and Sampath Raj.
No further collection updates are expected. The film has run its course, and the trade conversation now shifts to what a directorial debut riding on a famous surname is actually supposed to prove, if box office numbers like these are the result.
