Should national anthem be played in cinema halls?

Hello friends, Some of my friends are saying that national anthem should be played it's a way to show our patriotism towards our country. Is it? My opinion is that to feel patriotic I don't need to listen to the anthem and if it is in theatre than of course not. Because in theatre there are many people who don't stand up during the anthem. So it's a disrespect of our anthem. Soldiers and freedom fighters redom their responsibility properly. And for respecting them there is some particular day. Now it's our turn to redom our responsibility for our nation, not only by listening anthem but also to complete our duty. In theatres, Govt should aware about 'Clean India' or on many other things.

Thank you.

First of all, national anthem never plays under the Rooftop.

From my point of view national anthem should not be there in the cinema hall because people are going to cinema hall for fun with their family or friends, if you put patriotism everywhere it would be little irritated for them because there are certain places for that and so as some of my friend, already mentioned that patriotism comes from heart not forcefully.

No, it should not because some people remain seated while playing the national which is a matter of great disrespect to the nation. Moreover, people come to the theatre with their family or friends to have fun. The theatre is a source of entertainment so you can't expect people to get patriotic wherever we like. Certain things are meant for a certain place and we have days where we need to show our love for our country. Mgovt should advertise national movements like Swach Barat Abhiyan so people would be aware of the national movements would participate in it rather than playing national anthem in theatre making the mass irritated.

Hi, everyone.

I don't think that playing national anthem in cinema halls is a good idea. People come in cinema halls to relax. Playing national anthem would be irritating to some of the people.

Take the example of next day after 26 January and 15 August, people throw away the flag on streets and the dustbin. So, is this the way you are showing your patriotism towards the nation? Just standing for national anthem does not make any sense. Most of the people don't even know the verse in the national anthem. They stand up for the national anthem just because others have stood up and they don't want to be the spoil spot. Also, not everyone would be in attention position and also this would show disrespect towards the nation as well as the national anthem.

I don't think that playing national anthem in cinema halls makes a person patriotic. Patriotism cannot be forced on an individual. Also, the definition of patriotism varies from person to person. If a person is very patriotic, he can show his deeds by doing various ways such as joining a social organization help the needy person, to teach the poor and needy children, and many others. So, according to me, national anthem should not be played in cinema halls.

National Anthem should be played or not. Well, first thing is that we never mixed anything with patriotism. It's a matter of respect which is our responsibility for our nation. It is good to stand for 52 sec and it is a pride moment for all.

Hello everyone,

The topic is should national anthem be played in cinema halls? First of all National Anthem is never sung under roofs. Playing National Anthems under roofs will not instill patriotism by standing for a minute. Love for country is not just about singing anthems but also to come up with solutions to help our nation prosper.

Thank you,

I literally don't think it's a nice idea. It's not about 2 min or some seconds. It's about correct place and time. How can you call yourself a patriotic by standing on national anthem that is being played before a 18 + (***) movie?

I really don't understand why it is must to olay national anthem in cinema halls.

1. Respect comes from your heart not by standing on a national anthem.

2. Playing national anthem before an adult movie is not a good idea.

3. One thing I noticed in cinema halls that when national anthem ends and people takes their seats, they immediately start gossiping about the topic they were discussing before national anthem.

They just ignore it, and it feels like insulted.

4. It should be mandatory in schools and colleges.

I think it neither a bad idea nor a good idea.

BAD: because the respect should come out from each person's heart.

GOOD: because, no matter forcefully, at least the country men are showing respect.

Its the wrost idea ever made by govt of india, beacuse India don't beg respect, we earn it. So why should we troll our selves. Not everyone sings national anthem on 15th aug. Its not mandatory. So if we have media who can show a single people who is not standing in cinema hall. So why should we do scratch our nation feel guilty. Tell me if we don't play n. Anthem in hall then will the love for your country will demolish. Never we love India and we mean it. So stop this kind of foolish work which have no, need in India. And officers use your mind and time in devloping to devloped nations. Not wate your time by making committe, discussion and what ever. Thank you.
