Should national anthem be played in cinema halls?

Hi friends,

We all are discussing Our National Anthem, and whether it should be played before the start of a movie in the theater. Well, I am in favour of the topic.

Friends most of us saying NO because of content if the movie might be vulgar or inappropriate and it disrespects our national anthem. There is no such Rule saying where to play our national anthem but remember whenever and wherever it is audible to you it's your moral duty to respect and stand.

I think that Good thing should be promoted instead of criticizing it. Actually, if we count the no.of times we get to sing our national anthem. It's just 2 times a year. So if you are really respecting your nation so much them I think the decision of SC is a reason for you to be HAPPY.

And yes about entertainment. Friends we are going to enjoy the movie for the total of 10800 seconds and do you really don't have just 52 SECONDS to pay tribute to those who sacrificed their life just to give us freedom.

It is not necessary to play national anthem before movie. Suppose if SC wants to spread nation anthem to people that is not in cinemas hall. It plays where people committed or doing some destructive to government property and destroy nation value.

I would like to add my intention. How many people have respect and honour for the anthem in school level than college and society level?

This is the ridiculous that anthem plays in the cinema hall. Some of the custom we follow rudely. Some us behave rudely in the cinema hall and make a nonsense comment during anthem also.

I don't find it convincing. There is no sense of playing national anthem in cinema halls. Respect comes from inside we can't force someone for it. Recent order from supreme court to play national anthem seems illogical and unjustified.

National anthem is something which we consider as sacred. We can't just watch any shitty kind of movie and after that sing national anthem. And if government is thinking that by playing it, people will become patriotic and start respecting country and it's people then it's a huge mistake. The justification that supreme court gave for it was that many people don't remember full national anthem and this is one way to make them learn. What kind of decision is this? Even there were reports that few people were penalised for not singing after watching movie.

We can say that instead of diverting people's mind from major issues related to progress and development of country, supreme court should give a stop to it and start solving problems which are actually disrupting development.

India is a country having unity in diversity. There are certain things which bring these peoples together. National anthem is one among such, which has to be considered with all due respect. Cinema halls are places where people come for relaxing and enjoyment. Playing national anthem is no point in such a situation. It is better that every institution must start with a national anthem.

Being a patriot and a great lover of our national anthem since my childhood days the mandate gives a sign of relief that more people will respect the national anthem now. But then the question comes to my mind why only cinema halls, why not make it mandatory in each and every government institution say for example banks, offices, collectorate, courts and many more such places. Are they not citizens of India. Why only cinema halls. Supreme Court should do some proper home work. No doubt its intention is good. But should be done by proper planning.

Yes, national anthem is played in Cinema hall. We all are singing national anthem only two times per year on independence day, republic day. We go to movie 3, 4 times so on playing national anthem in movies the people will more respect our country.

If people love their country, then, showing it in cinema halls is not required. Moreover, many people stand up since they are forced to stand by others. Still, people having no shame do not even give this much respect to their country which is an insult to the national anthem. Hence, playing in cinema halls should not be necessary. If people are respectful towards their country, they will be even if it is not played before the film begins.

Hai friends.

Playing national anthem in theaters is a decision taken by SC is, of course, a right initiative. This is definitely not imposing the patriotism on anyone. It's our basic duty to do it. In whatever mood we are in the theater, we will come to patriotic mood for that 52 sec which gives us an inner peace and definitely each Indian feels it. It's a way of being right citizen. I didn't mean if we are not singing national anthem we are not being patriotic. But many times we need to salute our great leaders who have given us this freedom at the cost of their lives. I strongly feel this is the best way to salute them.

Theatre are placed where everyone would spend their time with joy. So definitely there are one of the places where people can feel really happy to be with national anthem.

It's not compulsory every time to show your patriotism but needs to think of it seriously in today's world, Where people stop singing national anthem at school level. Definitely, this move gives it results in terms making many people know the importance of our country and the freedom which they are enjoying.

Well, from my point of view, if one can go and watch a movie for 3hrs so also he can take time to show some respect to national anthem, it also helps our new generation and youth to know about our country. It is not a matter of mood you don't have to be in any mood to show patriotism towards the country. If they are taking initiative so we also should do and support this make India a different from other countries we have just started so I am in favour of it.
