Should national anthem be played in cinema halls?

National Anthem should be played in theatres. The one who can't give respect to his/her own country where they took birth, grow and use all the resources even without a second thought. Will not be able to give respect to anyone. If you can't give your 2min to respect National Anthem then it doesn't make sense if you say Vande Mataram. It's very bad to say even an opinion arisen 'whether it should be played? '.

Yes! National anthem should be played in cinema halls because why not? If we can warm our seats for 2-3hrs just for a movie then why can't we stand and respect our national anthem just for 2mins. Every individual should respect their country and other countries aswell. We should be proud of our country. Cant we even stand for 2mins to respect our national anthem? Think about the soldiers, don't they have a life? Why do they risk their life? Soldiers stand day and night to protect our nation. If we cannot do that then atleast we should respect them by respecting our national anthem. Yes it should be played in cinema halls to inculcate the value of patriotism in everyone. Love your country, Respect your country.

National anthem should be played in the cinema hall. It gives feel proud, and some uneducated fellow will also come and see the movie at that time they might get value of anthem, they might change their thoughts, and it takes only 1minute time to feel happy, proud to be an Indian, and it might increase positive thinking, nowadays some ppl might, or they won't give respect to film industry, it helps to think positive. And it helps to maintain discipline in the cinema hall. Jai Hind.

Hello everyone.

In my opinion, the national anthem should be played in cinema halls. Because it reminds us of the nation"s unity, integrity and diversity. To all those who are saying that cinema is a place where people come to relax and enjoy, it is really ironical that you are ready to spend your 3 hours without any issues but standing for 52 seconds is objectionable for you. People who are saying that patriotism comes from within and you don't need to show it, just imagine if soldiers at the borders start thinking like this that patriotism is within me and I don't need to stand at borders to prove it then what will happen. Apart from this in today's life with so much cut-throat competition, where everyone is busy in shaping their career and planning future, somewhere in between we forget about our country, our patriotism get lost up. National anthem in cinema halls will ignite patriotic feelings in us and energize us to develop our nation.

To all the people who are in favour of playing the national anthem in the movie halls, when you say that the anthem instils pride in you and to quote one of the answers, "gives goosebumps and butterflies", good for you! But when you say that it is the only way to respect the nation, I think you couldn't be farther from the truth. If a song is the only way you can think of instilling patriotism in people, you're rather weak in your will and seem like you can be swayed to the other side when not playing it!

Is that the case?

To say that there is only one way to feel patriotic and one way to properly respect an entity is dictatorial and not freedom. Even more ironic is when the people who feel so patriotic after the anthem pay bribes to cops, go the wrong side on the roads, litter the streets, etc after coming out of the movie halls. So much for the lecture on patriotism!

If you want to show your patriotism, stop enforcing your rules on others. Help people around you. Take care of your environment. Do things that make the world a better place to live. Branding anyone who thinks differently as an anti-national is just the beginning of a tyrant society.

The thing is not about standing for a minute and sitting for 3 hrs, the thing is how much do you understand the national anthem. Cinema halls are placed to relax and enjoy and not a place to prove your patriotism. What's the use if standing because when you leave the cinema halls you are going to litter it, going to bribe traffic police after breaking signals and continue with all the bad practice. If you really respect the Tiranga and stand for it income. A hall than why do triangles lie on the road after 26 Jan or 15 August?
Thank you.

Yes, I am in the favour of playing National Anthem in the cinema hall.

Now many of us here arguing that a cinemall hall is a place for entertainment n all.

I agree but what is the problem if we stand barely 52seconds for the national anthem?instead standing with other Indians for national anthem will make us feel proud of our nation. If we can watch the movie for 3 hrs there so we can also stand for the national anthem for a minute. Freedom fighters gave their life for our country can't we give one minute to our national anthem.

Jai Hind!

In my opinion, patriotism comes from within. Playing national anthem in cinema halls is definitely not a way to express your patriotism towards one's country. Patriotism can be express in anywhere around the world by making the nation proud. So it should come from within and not forced.

Thank You.

As per me playing the national anthem before movie should not create any problem to viewers because if they can give their 3 hours to a movie then they can also give 52 seconds for nation's integrity. But if we look from general perspective then one question would always be there that why it becomes mandatory to play the national anthem at places where people are far -far away from the feeling of patriotism. This method shows that Indians do not have any feeling toward their nation.

Yes, National anthem should be played in cinema halls because it shows a respect and lives towards our country, not only Indians visits cinema hall there are even outsiders who will actually know the value of our country INDIA.

PROUD TO BE AN INDIAN.
