Should national anthem be played in cinema halls?

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,

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In my point of view, it is a good step taken by our Government. Because after our school and college days we people forget about our national anthem and it is a good thing to hear again in the cinema hall. I don't know why people saying that it is an irritated one, I have one question. You people spend three hours to watch a movie but before that why you are not ready to spend 1min for our national anthem. I think it is our responsibility too.

So in my point of view, it is a good thing.

I think it is a great step taken by SC about playing national anthem in cinema. In Colombia and Thailand, it is a law to play national anthem in every morning in every public TV and radio. And I think playing in cinemas is much better than playing in TV and Radio stations because in the home typically people never stand up while national anthem because nobody is watching them but in cinemas, they have to stand up and respect national anthem it brings unity in them. At least they remember to respect their nation. As nowadays it is only mandatory in schools and our youth is becoming self-centered. They have no time to be patriotic. And cinemas is the plays where today's youth often go. And I don't think the person respecting his or her country have a problem to stand just for 52 sec for respecting nation before watching a movie.

In my opinion, it is not right thing. We should respect our country as well as national anthem but we don't want to make show off in theatre. . Before we are going to toilet do we pray? Situation and time will decide what to do and when to do.

As per my opinion, this is not a matter to stand for national anthem in cinema halls. If people thinks why does govt apply these we are going to watching movies in halls to enjoy some moments. Any movie is near about 2 hrs. Then if we are stand only 52 seconds. What we have problem. This is very good initiative taken by our govt and me must proudly to stand up for our national anthem.

Thank you.
