YouTube comedy duo Parithabangal has found itself at the centre of a heated social media outrage by Kamal Hassan fans who were upset because the channel shared a parody of the much-trolled Tamil film, “Indian 2, starring their favourite actor.
It’s well-known that the movie “Indian 2,” featuring Kamal Haasan, a part-time politician and full-time actor, became one of the biggest film disasters of all Tamil cinema this year. As soon as the film hit theatres, critics panned it severely, burying it under a wave of negative reviews and trolling, hoping to deter future attempts at similar movies in Tamil Nadu.
On 9 August 2024, Netflix released “Indian 2” on its platform, reigniting the criticism. On 13 August 2024, the YouTube satire channel Parithabangal created a parody video of the film, which resonated with viewers who had experienced the movie’s torment firsthand. While many enjoyed the humorous take, Kamal Haasan’s fans were outraged. They felt deeply hurt by the satire and responded with a barrage of propaganda and abusive comments aimed at the YouTube content creators Gopi and Sudhakar.

Parithabangal Parody Of The Movie
Gopi and Sudhakar jibe at the film’s mindless, cringeworthy scenes in their parody video, which has already clocked over 2 million views in just two days. One of the epic takedowns was of actor Siddharth, who in the original film proclaims himself to be from “social media” as if it were a legitimate job.
Anirudh’s average background score, in which he uses the character’s name along with some beats, has also been trolled.
The parody also trolls how, in Indian 2, Kamal as Indian Thatha appears depending on social media hashtag trends.
Below are Some of the Rants & Abuses by Kamal Fans
One fan expressed intense anger towards the YouTube duo, saying, “Gopi & Sudhakar: I pray to all the powers that rule this world on behalf of good people that both of you and your families will perish. I pray to the almighty God that evils will continue to haunt both of you for many years.”
கோபி & சுதாகர் : நீங்கள் இருவரும் உங்கள் இருவரின் குடும்பங்களோடு நாசமாக போக நல்லவர்கள் சார்பில் இந்த பூலோகத்தை ஆளும் அனைத்து சக்திகளையும் வேண்டுகிறேன்.
எதிர் பாராத வகையில் தீமைகள் உங்கள் இருவரையும் தொடர்ந்து பற்பல வருடங்களுக்கு ஆட்டி படைக்க எல்லாம் வல்ல இறைவனை வேண்டுகிறேன்.

“Stop wagging your tails for biscuits put by someone. Don’t embarrass yourself by spitting in the opposite wind. Don’t spew hate in the name of the video. You shouldn’t forget that you will reap tomorrow what you sow today,” another fan said.
யாரோ போடும் பிஸ்கட் க்கு வாலாட்டாதீர்கள். எதிர் காற்றில் எச்சில் உமிழ்ந்து உங்களை நீங்களே அசிங்க படுத்தி கொள்ளாதீர்கள். வீடியோ என்கிற பெயரில் வன்மத்தை கொட்டாதீர்கள்.
நீங்கள் எதை கொடுக்கறீர்களோ, அதே தான் உங்களுக்கு திரும்ப கிடைக்கும் என்பதை மறக்கவேண்டாம்.#FraudGopiSudhakar— Balamurugan (@ibalamurugan72) August 13, 2024
Recalling an old scam they were involved in, a fan said, “How can you enjoy this film as you looted the people’s money in the name of crowdfunding? Don’t come here and bark for a piece of bone that someone threw. You are not worth the dust of his feet.”
Crowd Funding பெயரால் ஊர் மக்கள் பணத்தை கொள்ளையடித்த உங்களுக்கு இந்த படம் எப்படி பிடிக்கும்.
எவனோ எறிந்த எலும்பு துண்டுக்கு ஆசைப்பட்டு இங்கு வந்து குரைக்க வேண்டாம்.
அவரது கால் தூசி மண்ணுக்கும் ஈடாகாதவர்கள் நீங்கள்.

Another fan started abusing, “You are eating food, right? You have a family and a life. So why do you troll others like this and what do you get from these sons of B**du. You can drink someone’s p**s.”

Another criticized their family stating, “For this, both of you can sell your newly married wife to pros**tution and earn.”

Another fan criticized Parithabangal, stating, “You can make a living by making fun of other people’s work and their artwork. You cannot make a film yourself. The only thing left is to cheat people’s money in the name of going to make a film on crowd funding.”
உங்களால் அடுத்தவர் உழைப்பையும் அவர்களின் கலை படைப்பையும் கேலி செய்து spoof செய்து தான் பிழைப்பு நடத்த முடியும்.சொந்தமாக உங்களால் படம் எடுக்க முடியாது.crowd funding இல் படம் எடுக்க போகிறோம்என்ற பெயரில் மக்களின் பணத்தை ஏமாற்றியது தான் மிச்சம்.

Another fan cried to initiate a defamation case stating, “@RKFI Please file a defamation suite against these two, as they have been for the longest time defaming Mr.Kamal Haasan. If not them we should put a defamtion suite against these frauds.”

Another fan commented, “You stole common people’s money in the name of crowd funding, and you are conveniently living after sucking out their bloods. Yet here you are trolling a legend and the same people whose blood you sucked are supporting you. Where fools live cheaters like #gopisudhakar thrive.“
