Sigma, the directorial debut of Jason Sanjay, son of actor and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay, continued to record modest box-office numbers on its fifth day in theatres, with the film showing little growth after its opening weekend. According to Sacnilk, Sigma collected an estimated net ₹0.79 crore across 1,439 shows in India on Day 5. The latest figure takes the film’s India net collection to ₹6.98 crore, while its India gross collection stands at ₹7.93 crore. The film, which was released on October 2, has so far struggled to sustain the momentum generated on its opening day. Sigma opened in Indian theatres with a net collection of ₹2.35 crore on October 2. The film then recorded net collections of ₹1.50 crore on Saturday and another ₹1.50 crore on Sunday, according to the available box-office data.
However, collections subsequently remained considerably lower as the film entered the weekday phase. The Day 5 figure of ₹0.79 crore represents a relatively limited contribution to the overall tally and indicates that the film has not registered a substantial increase in audience turnout during the early part of its first week. With its India net collection standing at ₹6.98 crore after five days, the film’s performance will now depend on its ability to maintain occupancy in the remaining weekdays and attract audiences during the following weekend. The Day 5 collection of ₹0.79 crore was recorded across 1,439 shows, according to Sacnilk. The website’s figures are estimates and are subject to revision as additional data becomes available.
The total India gross collection of ₹7.93 crore includes the amount before deductions, while the net figure reflects the collection after applicable deductions. The distinction between gross and net collections is important when assessing the theatrical performance of a film, as trade reports commonly use both figures to track box-office trends. For Sigma, the gap between the reported gross and net figures currently stands at around ₹0.95 crore after five days of release. The film’s release has also attracted attention because of Jason Sanjay’s connection to Vijay, one of Tamil cinema’s most prominent actors and a political figure in Tamil Nadu. Jason has taken on the director’s role with Sigma, making the project a closely watched debut within the Tamil film industry.

While the box-office performance remains a key measure of the film’s theatrical run, interest surrounding the project has also been driven by the public profile of its director’s father. Vijay’s political activities have added another dimension to the attention surrounding Jason and his first feature film, particularly as the film arrived during a period when the actor is also active in Tamil Nadu politics. On the day after the film’s release, Vijay publicly acknowledged his son’s project during a roadshow. On Friday, he was seen holding up a framed photograph of Jason Sanjay from Sigma while addressing crowds. A video shared online showed a party volunteer handing Vijay the framed picture, which he then lifted above his head for people gathered at the event to see. The gesture was interpreted as a public show of support for his son as Sigma began its theatrical run.
The moment also generated attention online, linking the film’s release with Vijay’s public appearances and political activities. With five days of theatrical performance completed, Sigma has collected ₹6.98 crore net and ₹7.93 crore gross in India, based on the figures available from Sacnilk. The film’s opening-day collection remains its strongest single-day figure among the numbers reported so far, while weekday collections have been comparatively subdued. The coming days will be important for determining whether the film can improve its theatrical momentum, particularly with another weekend approaching. For now, the available figures indicate that Sigma has made a relatively modest start at the Indian box office, with Day 5 contributing ₹0.79 crore to its overall net tally.
