Watch Pallichattambi Movie Online on Sony LIV through YuppTV

If you missed Tovino Thomas's period action drama Pallichattambi in theatres, you can now catch it on Sony LIV via YuppTV. Directed by Dijo Jose Antony, the film transports audiences to the hill village of Kaaniyar during Kerala's politically charged late 1950s, right around the state's Liberation Struggle and its first Communist government.

The story centers on Pothan, an orphan who arrives in the village under a new identity and rises to lead a Church-backed group called the Christopher Sena. What starts as a tale of a carefree troublemaker slowly turns into something deeper, as questions of faith, loyalty, and political upheaval pull him in different directions. A budding romance with a woman tied to the Communist movement adds another layer of tension to his journey.

Tovino Thomas leads the cast with a physically demanding performance, joined by Kayadu Lohar, Prithviraj Sukumaran in a cameo, Vijayaraghavan, Siddique, and Baburaj among others. The film's cinematography captures rural Kerala with an earthy, lived-in feel, while Jakes Bejoy's music adds weight to the period setting.

For viewers outside India, the movie is available with Malayalam audio. Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, and Kannada as well, so language isn't a barrier. YuppTV subscribers can stream Pallichattambi movie online conveniently through their existing access, making it an easy watch for anyone curious about this ambitious period drama that didn't quite find its audience in cinemas but may well find it online.

ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2027 New Format Explained

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced a new format for the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2027 as the tournament expands from 10 to 14 teams. The event will be co-hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia, with Namibia set to host matches in a men's ODI World Cup for the first time.

The tournament will open with a new preliminary stage called the Super Series. The three lowest-ranked qualified teams will play each other in a round-robin competition, but only the table-topper will move on to the main tournament, while the other two teams will be knocked out.

The remaining 12 teams will then compete in the main group stage, split into two groups of six. Each team will play five matches, and the top three sides from each group, along with the next best-performing team overall, will advance to the newly introduced Super 7 stage.

In the Super 7, all seven teams will play each other once. The top four teams at the end of this round will qualify for the semi-finals, with the winners meeting in the final to decide the champion.

The ICC says the new structure is aimed at making every match more meaningful by reducing the number of dead-rubber games. However, the format has drawn criticism from the World Cricketers' Association and several players from Associate nations, who believe the preliminary Super Series gives lower-ranked teams fewer opportunities and could slow the game's growth in emerging cricket nations.
