Chithariyavar (Malayalam: ചിതറിയവര്, English: The Shattered) is a 2004 Indian film directed by Lalji George and written by M. K. Harikumar.
The film follows Viswanathan, a youth, who struggles within India's reservation system; instead of desiring to advance through his own merits. It portrays the need for the system of reservation in India for economically weaker communities, and those affected by the Caste System.[1]
The title of the film means "the shattered", which echoes the protagonist's feelings toward the perceived limitations of the reservation system.[2]
