Should national anthem be played in cinema halls?

Hi all,

Absolutely NO, We all know that we respect our nation and we all are proud to be an Indian, so it's not required to prove that in the theatre because we go there just for an entertainment.

I see absolutely no reason to attempt to arouse patriotic feelings in a crowd that has gone to the cinemas solely for entertainment. Not a single soul goes there to get patriotically recharged. Here are a few other reasons;.

Playing national anthem is a total distraction from the mood that one goes to a movie theatre for.

Just playing or singing national anthem does not instil more patriotism.

Patriotism is tied to a country's boundary. It does not expand to humans or beings and therefore it makes you isolated in your thoughts and approach to how your perceive the world around you.

The patriotic feeling in the heart is something that was high in demand at a certain time in the past. There are other causes that need more attention such as cleanliness, giving respect to others, caring for the poor, and the list goes on. What good does it do our society or to humanity if a person has a patriotic feeling or not?

The legal system has better things to do. Cases stay pending for decades in the legal system and that is what they should focus on flushing out. This is not a legal issue - it is an issue relating to entertainment and people's patriotic feelings.

No other country in the world does it.

Hello everyone,

I am Sakshi Agrawal and in my opinion yes the national anthem should be played in cinema halls first of all we are an Indian and national anthem its proud full song for song. But I think it should not be compulsory every person is standing when national anthem played it is depend on that if they want to standing or not.

But I think it should me start in cinema halls because cinema halls is a that place where every age people come. And according to me I am a college student and in my college I sing a national anthem only 15 August and 26 January.

And I feel when I am going for good work and if I listen a national anthem so I feel it gives me energy to do something in my county.

So I concluded it National anthem should be start in cinema halls because you can stand 30 min for ticket but why you can't stand 52 second for national anthem?

Hello, I am Shubham.

According to my opinion, Yea sure, National anthem must be played in cinema halls it's a great decision.

Nowadays peoples are very busy in their daily life and this is a great privilege for that guys.

After Higher secondary education no one can play or sings the national anthem, So, in that way they can respect our culture.

And its no more big deal for stands up 2 minutes only.

In another way its a great privilege for respect our constitution.

Thank you.

I disagree this because cinema hall is for entertainment in that they play the movies like 'A' grade or 'B' movies in that we insulting our nation.

Some people like adults they do not give the respect for the national anthem without standing.

Showing the respect to our motherland in a cinema hall is not a right place.

In my view, national anthem must be played at cinema halls. Not only at the cinema halls but also at the meetings such as the empowering the women which were held in Hyderabad. It shows a great respect which we are giving to our nation. But our topic is national anthem played in cinema halls are not. My answer is yes. We are paying attention nearly 2-3 hrs, for the movie we can't pay attention for 52 sec. Here it is a place where different types people gather together. It shows unity among ourself. We going to feel like its a family we should each and every one. It is the only way we can pay tribute to our soldiers any way we are not going to fight at the border. Just think for a second we are living like that its the grace of theirs. Pay salute to the jawans.

The things are like that at the evening time people come with drunken and ugly looks. Because of them, only this is the things happen MY BEST suggestion to the theatre owner is that should not allow those kinds of people. Make our country to be proud be honest help each other.

In my opinion, national anthem should be played in cinema halls.

Becouse now a days everyone is busy in their daily life. So this is the place for them.

In the era we are living in this time people are becoming so smart. But they are going away from culture.

And every type of people come in cinema halls so atleast they what our national anthem is.

So in my opinion, playing national anthem in cinema halls are very good decision.

Hi, I am Dhioshmati Devi, Assam. This is not an issue to point out that we are the Indians. If it plays, never arises any questions of one's profit or loss. India is a democratic country, so no one compelling upon other one's respect to his/her nation. It is the tribute to our country by internal respect. It should not be playing by any demands, pressure. If one wishes, it may play peacefully as a true patriot.

According to me, every religion person in India is Proud to be an Indian. Singing A National anthem in Cinema Hall doesn't prove to be an Indian. As we Respect our Religion we Respect our Country. As we respect our religion culture we respect our Indian culture.

A cinema Hall is a place where we have the entertainment with a friend and have some personal things with our girlfriend's.

So, this is not the right place to play the National Anthem.

Thank you.

Many of you have said that it should not be enforced on the people and it should not be played in the hall. I like to share my points only for these people that you should be thanked to god that you are living in India. Our government is trying to inculcate patriotism among people so whats wrong in that? Our country is filled with different communities, caste, religion it is important to unite them. There is a need of patriotism so we can overcome from the problem like brain drain and many more. I m in army sometimes we do our duty in off time also. We also feel that it is our rest time but no we have to do it for any cause because it's my duty to serve the nation wherever it needs me. So it is a duty of a citizen also to respect the anthem, not because you are in any service because you are living in India.

Big changes come from small steps.

It is our luck that India is a democratic nation. Not a communism like China and other countries. So this is not supposed to be discussing a topic, not at all.
