Should national anthem be played in cinema halls?

I'm Anantha Vishnu.

In my point of view, national anthem should play in cinema halls. , because national anthem makes us patriotic, as an Indian if we are able to stand 42 seconds it has a pride and no pain in it. And that my opinion. That's it. Jaihind.

Yes, National anthem played in theatres which shows our honor and respect towards our country.

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.

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.

I think national anthem should not be played in cinema halls for all the film's going on like adult film, corrupted politics.

It should be played only when film related to nation are displayed on the screen lie border which creates a kind of respect towards our country before watching the movies struggled by our soldiers or national heroes.

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.

No, I don't think it should be played in cinema halls because of many reasons firstly we go to cinema halls for entertainment and as national anthem is our national song which is very respectful for all so we all know that when it was played in school or college we all stood up in silence mode but in cinema hall if it is played then whose is there to see people stands or not ?

Hi all,

Today, I am sharing my thoughts on the topic of "should play the national anthem in cinema hall. ".

In 2016, the Supreme Court said to play the national anthem with the Indian flag on the screen in a cinema hall before playing the movie screen. And people will stand up to respect the national anthem.

Force people are not happy with this decision of the Supreme Court; they said that the national anthem does not need to be played in a cinema hall because patriotism does not come from saying. It's a feeling of respect for our country.

Indeed, patriotism does not come from saying. It's a feeling that is automatically generated by our hearts for our nation. And we don't need to play the national anthem in a cinema hall. We go there for entertainment and enjoyment. And the national anthem is not part of entertainment; it's a show of respect for our nation.

A cinema hall is primarily a place for entertainment, not a civic or ceremonial venue. Forcing people to stand for the anthem in such a context can feel artificial or even coercive. Patriotism is meaningful when it’s voluntary, not when it’s performed under social pressure. Also, disrespect can happen unintentionally — people may talk, eat popcorn, or arrive late, which can trivialize the anthem.

A better idea might be to keep the national anthem for more appropriate contexts: national events, schools, government ceremonies, sports matches, places where the mood naturally aligns with collective respect. In a cinema, people should be free to watch a film without being tested for patriotism.

Patriotism is meaningful only when it comes naturally from the heart, not when it is imposed or forced in a particular place like a cinema hall, which is primarily meant for entertainment. People already show respect to the nation in many ways such as paying taxes, following laws, voting, and contributing to society.

If the national anthem is made compulsory everywhere, it may actually reduce its emotional value because people might start seeing it as a forced ritual rather than genuine respect.

Therefore, while respecting the national anthem is extremely important, patriotism should be voluntary and expressed through responsible actions towards the nation, rather than being enforced in entertainment spaces.
