Baththa pushed past Rs 10 crore net in four days with its strongest Sunday yet, while Sigma, Jason Sanjay's directorial debut starring Sundeep Kishan, posted the same gross on both Saturday and Sunday of its opening weekend.
Baththa has quietly become the week’s biggest Tamil film, clawing past a pair of high-profile releases to claim dominance in a crowded weekend clash. By Day 4, the Vijay Sethupathi-starrer had grossed 10.05 crore net — a figure that not only eclipses its opening-day take of 1.5 crore but also surpasses the lifetime total of Sethupathi’s own Ace (8.95 crore).

Atlee has said he'd work with Jason Sanjay again—no project confirmed, but the door is open. Not a job offer. A legacy in motion.
Jason Sanjay wants to direct Vijay in a rom-com. The question isn't if he can—it's whether anyone will believe he’s not just following in his father’s footsteps.

Sigma opens today — and with it, the curtain rises on a debut that’s less a launchpad and more a crash test.
The film opens with a bang—literally—a car chase in a parking lot that’s less about logic and more about feeling. It’s messy. It’s loud. It’s fun.

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.
Released on October 2, 'Sigma' has grossed ₹2.70 crore in India on its opening day, with Tamil version leading at ₹1.50 crore net.

Prashanth called the film 'decent' — but warned that its script failed to surprise. The real story? A first-time director choosing craft over legacy. Now, the pressure’s on.
Sigma takes first place on Day 1, but only because the competition is weak. The film's success is confined to Tamil Nadu, while Telugu numbers lag. No film broke through — and the weekend looms.

Jason Sanjay’s directorial debut Sigma hits screens Friday, October 10, marking the first major step of Thalapathy Vijay’s heir apparent into the spotlight—where the eyes are already fixed, not on the film’s plot, but on the man who made it.
The film’s biggest flaw isn’t the script — though it’s riddled with logic gaps — but the editing. A single paragraph from the review nails it: “The editor treated the film like a TV serial.”
Sundeep Kishan didn’t just walk into theatres on Friday — he stormed them. With a warning.
The film follows Guru, a struggling librarian, into a high-stakes game disguised as a theatre. Behind the curtain? A casino. Behind the game? A fortune.
