Some grumbling

A few viewers call Sigma average or not worth the ticket price, and one says the praise is paid PR. No negative posts; posts are mostly positive.

What brands should do

Tie in to Jason Sanjay's debut moment, not the film's quality. Avoid ticket-value or review claims; some viewers call it average and suspect paid hype.
