He was known for capturing the problems of common man and family relation ships very delicately in Malayalam films.

Every Malayalaee from far and wide in world would have seen his creations in
"Bharatham",
"Thoovalkottaram"
"His Highness Abdullah"
"Karunyam"
"Kasthoorimann"
"Kanmadam"
"Veendum Chila Veetu Karyangal"

and many many more...

He was actively involved in directing more forthcoming films. 2 days back I saw karunyam and was so fascinated by the talent of a writer-director has brought out this film. He was one of the best.

Poverty, debt and helplessness leads man through strange situations. It makes him commit crime, which must be avoided at all costs, thats the message LohithaDas always wanted to bring in films.
One needs to be firm in his social behaviour and respect elders, thats also a message.

There isnt another person his him. This is an end of glorious phase of Malayalam films and great movies.

But life moves on, youngsters impressed by his films will take the baton forward.
