Sigma stars Sundeep Kishan and Faria Abdullah in the lead roles. The film follows a librarian struggling with financial problems and attempting to clear a debt. His circumstances eventually pull him into a dangerous criminal underworld involving drug dealers, illegal casinos and heists. As he navigates the world of crime, a series of double-crosses further complicates his journey.

Sigma opened to Rs 2.35 crore net in India on Friday, October 2, with an overall occupancy of 31.1 per cent across 1,813 shows.

IndiaToday.in’s review of the film reads, “Sigma ultimately lacks conviction, invention and a clear sense of direction. For Jason Sanjay, it is a disappointing debut — a film that has all the ingredients for a heist, but somehow forgets to make the heist exciting.”

The film released in theatres on October 2.- EndsALSO READ | CM Vijay's son or filmmaker? Jason Sanjay's Sigma faces its biggest test
