Parithabangal Gopi–Sudhakar
Parithabangal Gopi–Sudhakar is an Indian stand-up comedy YouTubers and actors duo consisting of Gopiaravindh Raja and Dhuniya Sudhakar. The duo predominantly appear in satirical videos of their official YouTube handle Parithabangal.[1]
Career
[edit]The duo have predominantly featured in comedy YouTube videos in their official YouTube channel Parithabangal and subsequently gained significant fanfare over the years.[1] Gopi and Sudhakar often compiled videos by incorporating usual conversations and daily life styles of people in humorous manner.[1] The duo also appeared in films mostly confined to minor roles in Meesaya Murukku (2017), Mersal (2017), Uriyadi 2 (2019), Seven (2019), Zombie (2019) and Nenjamundu Nermaiyundu Odu Raja (2019).
The duo also collaborated to form Parithabangal Productions in 2018 with the intention of producing films under their production banner.[2] In 2019, Parithabangal Gopi and Sudhakar announced that they would be making their debut production venture through the film Hey Money Come Today Go Tomorrow, albeit with the support of crowdfunding campaign.[3] At the time of the film's launch, the film was speculated by media to be Asia's biggest crowd-funded film and was also speculated to be a landmark Indian Tamil-language film as the interest on the film project was rekindled due to the source of funds being used for the film to go on floors.[3] However, both Gopi and Sudhakar decided to shelve the production of the film due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and financial constraints.[4]
In 2023, both Gopi and Sudhakar announced their second major film collaboration, as lead actors for an untitled project tentatively named as Untitled Project #2. The film shooting glimpses of Untitled Project #2, was unveiled on the Parithabangal YouTube channel.[5] The first look posters of Gopi and Sudhakar were also unveiled where they dressed in comical manner impersonating Charlie Chaplin's prominent character The Tramp.[6][4]
In 2021, the duo were embroiled in a controversy for promoting Super Backer App in their Parithabangal YouTube channel as the app was at the forefront of a multi-crore scam having defrauded many individuals. Gopi and Sudhakar were also accused of possible misuse of their subscribers money by promoting such malicious apps.[2]
In September 2024, Parithabangal faced lawsuit threats and defamation case over their political satirical video titled Laddu Paavangal, covering content about the controversies pertaining to the use of ingredients such as animal fat to prepare laddu (laddu adulteration).[7][8] Both Gopi and Sudhakar apologised for the video and they deleted the video from their YouTube channel within hours after accusations charged about the video content being disrespectful towards the sentimental values of Hindus.[9][10][11] The case lodged against Gopi and Sudhakar was later called off and withdrawn by BJP party after the duo sent a letter of apology on the issue.[12][13]
