Should national anthem be played in cinema halls?

According to me, the national anthem should be played in cinema halls as it an important means of showing respect to our patriotism not only singing but honouring it is also important it shows how patriotic we our to our motherland and when the national anthem is been sung the small kids notice and follow everyone by standing and honouring the flag they understand the importance of our national flag.

JAI HIND Thank You.

Hello everyone.

I am Amit Aryan and in my opinion, I think there should be certain steps taken before implementing such rules and regulations.

Article 51 (A) of our constitution says that it is duty of every citizen of India to respect and abide by the cultur, tradition and honour of India. And when we say duty, it implies that it should voluntarily done by every citizen, not should be forced or imposed upon them.

But we can give them a chance to do their duty.

And that's why, I think national anthem must be played in the cinema hall to give citizens a sense of nationality, patriotism in them. But it should also be left to them whether they want to give respect or not. Just like, we get scheduled timing for movie screening, same way timing should be there for national anthem as well like exactly 5 mint. Before screening of the movie. So that, people can adjust according to that, they want to attain national anthem or not. If not, they can come after that scheduled time.

This way, patriotism wouldn't be forced in someone and also those who want such feelings to be evoked on such certain events can also get it in them.

Hi. In my opinion, it does not make a difference whether the national anthem is played in a cinema hall or not. You cannot enforce patriotism over anybody.

I love my country but there are just not enough people who will do the same and actually pay their respect. I can give a simple example of an incident that took place recently to justify the above statement. While I was at the movies with a friend to watch the movie " Dangal ", everybody stood up at the beginning for the anthem before the movie played because we are obligated to do so since it is now a law. What happened after, was entirely surprising. There is a part in the movie where they play the anthem and nobody stood up because they weren't obligated to since it's not compulsory. The only ones who took the initiative to stand up were my friend and I after which only a few others followed. My point is that, whether it is in the movies or elsewhere, you cannot enforce patriotism. This has to come from within. So making it a rule will not make a difference.

Yes, National Anthem should be played in cinema halls. Think about freedom fighters who sacrificed their life for our country, and also our Indian army on borders can do their duty as an Indian well why can't we just stand for 2 min for our National Anthem.

Listening to the National Anthem of one's own country is something that fills the mind with an immense pride. I indeed feel that National Anthem should be played not only in cinema halls but also in other ceremonies of national importance.

One may feel that merely standing for two minutes does not portray patriotism, but if one cannot spare out even two minutes for his country in his joyous time (which Mother India has showered on him), how can it be ever expected that such a person will even care about his country when she needs him the most!

Doing such small things can do big wonders. I admit that in this busy life schedule it is difficult to take care of others and serve our country, but such minute actions will really give us a feeling of satisfaction and pride.

Hi All;.

I totally support the idea of palying National Anthem in Cinema Hall. I don't think it will have any disrespect for our National Anthem. I also read some friends views that what would be the respect for our National Anthem before the start of Adult movies. It doesn't matter that's different part of anyone life and people go in Cinema Hall toust have some entertainment and they won't mind to stand up for 2 mjnutes while playing National Anthem.

I also recommend to make this rule mandatory in every private or goverment offices before the start of work or shifts inside and outside of offices. It will really have some very positive effect to our society.

One more thing that want to add here, we should also make a rule of sending every indians for Army service in the begining stage of their life i.e. at the age of 18 as this is the age where we will. Be able to inculcate huge patriotism in our young people for our country and automaticall it will be passed in the same way generations to generations. I am sure once we start doing all this so many bad things will automatically fade away in our this beautiful country.

Jai Hind! Vande Mataram.

According to me, national anthem not playing in the Cinema Hall.

Because national anthem plays in open place, not under the roof.

And people are going to the cinema hall for enjoying movies, they should not be we forced to listen to national anthem it will reduce their personal freedom.

I think national anthem should be played in cinema because it somehow a little bit but increase our patriotism and I want to say that it is the fact that if someone is not STANDING during national anthem then somehow he/she has less feeling towards his/her country but it doesn't mean they don't have respect for their country.

And also some people try to identify people patriotism by asking them name of martyrs that was not good that it does not show our patriotism, PATRIOTISM IS NOT GENERAL KNOWLEDGE OF COUNTRY. Patriotism is in everyone no I think not everyone but most of the people it seems when we saw our national flag or in any other way.

So national anthem should be played in cinema but don't be judge people on the basis of it.

I think no because national anthem always sings in open area if we sing an under the roof so that we are insulting for national anthem it is wrong.

Hello everyone,

According to my point of view, National anthem should not play in hall, national anthem creates patriotism in our heart. But we go theatre for enjoyment. If we would play national anthem in the theatre then we are insulting the national anthem.
