Should national anthem be played in cinema halls?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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? '.

Hello everyone!

I do agree with the point that standing for 2 minutes will give us goosebumps, but after that we will indulge in movie and just forget about national anthem for which we have stood. Hereafter we will continue our bad practices as well in favour of us. To show patriotism means, it should come from within like helping the needy, guiding others not to encourage bad practices, and we can help our nation in various ways like as soldiers do. Soldiers sacrifice their lives to make us sleep well in our places and with beloved ones. But there are many people who don't even have the shelter. We can help others in their tough situations and let them feel happy. These can show that we can respect our country in such a easy and honest way rather than compelling others to stand for anthem and making us to pretend that we are having lots of love towards our nation. It should come from heart and it should be pure.

Yes, why not.

Why does anyone not raise such kinds of question when national anthem is played before the play starts in a cricket match? It's because they think that the players are playing at the national level for their country and they should pay respect to the country by singing the national anthem. They are wrong. Personally, I don't think that patriotism has any link with the level at which you are contributing to the nation. So why can't we- as a common man sing the national anthem in the cinema halls. We used to sing the national anthem at the school and college level only, after that I don't think there is an institution where we get an opportunity to sing it again. And if we are getting an opportunity to sing national anthem then we should take it with both hands open.

Hello Friends, Everyone is saying it should be play and everyone should be stand up that time. But my opinion is there is no need to it because a person doesn't need to show their patriotic. And second is you can't enforce your rules on a person. Patriotic, love and desire come from the heart, not by force. If a person is patriotic then she/ he shouldn't show it by standing in a cinema hall when the national anthem is playing other than it they should help the needy person. The armies serve our country by standing on the border. They stand them whereby we can sleep free and our place with our family. So like that, we also show our patriotic by feed the hunger person and help the people. A person goes cinema for fun and enjoys not for the show their patriotic. What will happen if you play 52 second the national anthem they won't have to remember it in the 3 hours movie. So, I think national anthem shouldn't play in the cinema hall and shouldn't enforce your rule on others.
