Should national anthem be played in cinema halls?

Playing National Anthem before movies is not a good idea. Injecting patriotism is not a right way, it will definitely cause pitfalls. I think in India, we all done our schooling along with a good start with a National Anthem, so there is no need to practice how to respect National Anthem. It's in our blood and we all love our country, and of course our National Anthem too. The Intention of watching a movie is purely entertainment and relaxation. In between, there is no need for a mock drill for patriotism. Because, while in the beginning, everyone will be in a rush for a ticket, popcorn, cokes, or eagerly searching for their seats, in between why should we create a space to show disrespect, even though they didn't do it to purposefully.

So, according to me, playing national anthem in meetings, schools, may be in workplaces will be fine and respected and we must avoid playing National Anthem in cinema halls.

No, national anthem should not be played in cinema halls because national anthem is played in open sky and not under the roof. It shows disrespect towards our national song.

Yes, I totally support the fact that national anthem should be played in cinema halls because it can give rise to patriotism among people and make a person proud of his or her country moreover there are many people who do not know the full national anthem which is very shameful so it is a good initiative.

As per as my opinion, the national anthem is necessary for all Indian because of it can give a proud feeling.

According to me, we are many times stand in queues like a bus, train, traffic, doctor, bank, Railways, and etc then why people are not given the time for the national anthem.

No, I don't think national anthem should be played in cinema halls because I don't think the nationalism is something that shouldn't be forced upon anyone and also playing national anthem in cinema halls is not a best way to generate patriotism.

In my view, it should be played in cinema hall before starting the patriotic movies or movies on social thinking or movies about our soldiers then it will be a great respect for national anthem & also it will show our respect towards the society & soldiers & anthem that at least we are giving some part of time to sing national anthem from our entertainment time. It will give us the zeal to feel like a patriot, we will feel unite ourselves, i.e there are different variety & culture of people in cinema hall & we are presenting a unity in diversity that will a great achievement. Before watching the movie we will have the enthusiasm so that we can enjoy the movie with patriot feeling.

But it will a disrespect to play the national anthem before the adult or bulgur movies.

But our society will not change by playing national anthem anywhere whether it will be public or cinema hall, our society will change by changing our habits & doing a great contribution to the betterment of society.

Today's youngs are not on the right track so it will be a great measure to set back them on the right track & it depends on you whether you are respecting or not your national anthem.

This topic has two sides. Actually, nothing wrong in playing national anthem in theatres but playing it before the start of some vulgar films is some what disrespecting our national anthem. And playing anthem before all good movies will be a great decision made by the govt. At least for that 1 min we can feel about our nation, our culture, our freedom fighters.

One more thing is that our Indian government is not showing interest to play national anthem in colleges. When it comes to the matter of colleges. Colleges are the appropriate places to play national anthem than cinema halls.

Yes, national anthem should be played in cinema halls and all public places like cricket stadium. Panchayat Bhawan, schools, college, govt office because it binds in the colour of patriot.

Think, why our great hero Bhagat Singh, Azad and their team sacrifice their life. Only for the freedom of nation not for their own benefits. National anthem makes us proud. We all should respect it. It is a lesson for our future generations. Think something for the unity of the nation. To stand for 52 seconds in cinema hall will not need to paid extra money or stamina. No one will lose their energy. National anthem gives us a sense of patriot, unity.

I think it should be played in cinema hall because that 52 seconds are not boring for any Indian and it shows that how people from different religion stand together to show respect towards our country and for that who think it is boring task then please don't stand to do your work in that 52 seconds because showing respect to our country is not our duty it is our feeling that comes from our heart which encourages us to show respect and love towards our country.

The Nation is always first for me. If we can spend 3 hrs to watch the movie then why not 50 seconds for the national anthem. To stand for 50 seconds and to respect the national anthem makes me proud.

Jai hind.
