Sangeeth Sivan, maker of super-hit Yodha, passes away in Mumbai

Some works leave a lasting impression in the entire career of a filmmaker, eclipsing everything else he or she would go on to do later in their career. For Sangeeth Sivan, who passed away at a private hospital in Mumbai on Wednesday at the age of 65, that work came quite early in his career.

Yodha (1992), his second film, would cement his name in Malayalam cinema as one of the films with the highest repeat watch value.
