Should national anthem be played in cinema halls?

National anthem is one of those sacred things that each and every person of our country feels respected about. Since the main motive behind implementation of such rule is the redevelopment of one's responsibility for the nation and to give rebirth to the feeling of patriotism in the hearts of people, playing national anthem before every movie in cinema can't be considered as the best move to fulfill the purpose.

India is the country with a great diversity and people are living in different cultures of society. Though our country is developing still most of people belongs to rural areas where there are no facilities of movie theater, hence those people are out of reach for this move. India is an independent country and every individual is independent to do whatever they wish to and in such conditions forcefully implementing such rules will not only be taken as burden but it might create haterade against it. Since the more youngest are the people who are most frequently seen in cinemas, they never wants to loose there freedom and are very conscious about there way of living, this forceful decision might be taken as burden by them can affect that negatively.

Also, the kind of movie that is played in theaters are different kinds and the audience present might feel frustrated as theater is a place where everyone goes for the purpose of entertainment. And playing national anthem before all those adult, antisocial, vulgar films can't be taken as a respectful decision. Also, the kind of audience present may not properly follow the rules of national anthem which are considered as disrespect.

Hence playing national anthem in theaters cannot be considered as a great decision to develop patriotism in people. Instead, government should consider the other much effective moves to solve the problem like playing it public gathering or making it compulsory in all the offices and much more. This decision needs a broader perspective.

I don't think that national anthem should be played in cinema halls as the one who respects and is patriotic won't get affected by this movement but to those who don't, making them stand forcefully or beating them up is no real solution. Patriotism should be felt from inside, it's not a thing to show off. If one really wants to show how patriotic he is, he can contribute to the nation by some means of charity or social service, that would be more than enough!

Basically, the purpose of this act should be to awaken the love respect and pride for our nation.

Definitely, National Anthem should be played in Cinema halls. Even not only in Cinema halls it would be played in every public gathering or any public function as it gives a sense of pride and motivation. No matter what the religion of a person, it should be acceptable to each and everyone. We have to respect our National Anthem. I think we all have at least 52 seconds for such a good initiative.

Hi, Everyone.

Today I'm going to talk about national anthem should/shouldn't be played in cinemas hall. Actually, the national anthem is may express our patriotism. But in cinemas hall we have to enjoy ourself, there we need not prove my patriotism. In my opinion, shouldn't pay patriotism in cinemas hall. Thank you.

Certainly, Why Not? Everyone with a little patriotism will say, ''Yes we should respect it''. If someone is reluctant to do so he/she is that much less feels about his nation.

If SC orders so, what is the problem? it is just a matter of maximum one minute. India is my country, Jana Gana Mana is my national anthem and in an occasion, it is singing, I am expected to respect it. Court also said that, if it is singing in the movie, no need to show respect. That it is not an occasion for respecting moreover, that might feel like mocking at it.

My friends, even now, I don't understand, why some people make it such an issue to discuss so much?

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.

Yes, I think national anthem should be played at cinema halls. Students can do it in their institutions, schools, etc. But a common man rarely hears or had a time/chance to have a value of national anthem in their life. Cinema halls are a good place for such common citizens. It gives a sense of patriotism and memorise us of our freedom fighters because of whom we are enjoying such a wonderful moments. Some people say " we love our nation and we don't need such kind of formalities to show our patriotism". I want to suggest them that respecting anything and realising it are two different things. We all know and believe in god but we too go to temples to realise it or to have a better sensation of devotion. Same thing applies here also. Thanks.

Yes, National anthem should be played in Inox. This is not about forcing peopl to stand up in a theater. It's just a simple step to tell people about our country if we see many youths don't know the complete national anthem they don't know the meaning of the anthem. The National anthem is only sung on independence day and Republic days and schools. We need to bring the patriotic feeling in youths, this step of playing National will help in doing so because the theater is placed for youth and they are the future of our nation.

Hi guys,

I am Akash Nigam and I am in favor, to play anthem in cinema halls. It is not about 52 sec anthem that we sing together to show how patriot we are, no sir it is always about to live unity for which Indian are for in that 52 sec. There is rules and film board is there to judge whether film is playing our anthem is appropriate for it.

The only thing really depends on the people of our nation, do they really respect our anthem and if yes they have stand together and show their unity and patriotism for that 52 sec.
