Should national anthem be played in cinema halls?

Yes, I think so because our national anthem is proof of Indian's. Everyone has to know about our India.

According to my point of view, National anthem must play in cinema hall. Its our duty to stand and respect.

This is not a right place to play national anthem because no body stand and respect national anthem only laugh and giving unnecessary comment only.

Hey everyone,

According to me, singing national anthem in movie theater does not show your love and patriotism towards your country but doing something useful for it does.

Supreme court announced that all the cinema halls across the country should play National Anthem before starting films. I believe patriotism comes out of love and respect for one's nation. We cannot force fed to anyone just by making them stand up while playing the national anthem before starting movies. Imagine National Anthem, the most sacred tune is played before the movie with double meaning jokes and vulgar comments Udta punjab, Grand Masti. I don't believe it should be played before movies in theatres.

The national anthem used to be played in cinema halls across India, once upon a time, but the practice faded away. The Supreme Court should have dismissed the petition filed by Bhopal resident Shyam Narayan Chouski, because playing the national anthem before movies is just ridiculous.
