Sigma opens today — and with it, the curtain falls on a debut that was never meant to be. Jason Sanjay, son of Vijay, steps into the director’s chair with a film that promises a ₹500 crore heist, a casino twist, and a library saved by grit. What arrives is something else entirely: a movie that feels like it was shot in 2016, released in 2026.
Sundeep Kishan plays Guru, a man desperate to save his mother’s library, which is less emotional anchor than plot device. He stumbles into a high-stakes game involving mafia money, foreign travel, and a treasure hunt so loosely structured it borders on parody. The first half drags through financial woes, casino brawls, and a love track that exists only to be interrupted by more brawls.
Faria Abdullah shows up as RJ Sam, but her role is so underwritten it might as well be a cameo. Sampath Raj chews scenery as the villain, Shiv Panditt gets stuck playing a cartoonish henchman, and Raju Sundaram tries to lighten things with jokes that land like dropped bricks. Thaman’s score has moments, but mostly fades into background noise.
