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.

Hi Guys,

Nowadays people are trying to play national anthem in cinema halls so we can not totally deny them that they are wrong. I mean before saying anything we should be aware of the reasons which are behind of this then we can say something. This time government is trying to give a clear picture of some important things and to keep understanding of national anthem is one of them. We know that national anthem is being played in cinema halls and is place of entertainment but national anthem is not a part of entertainment it is being played only for people's awareness so that they can fully aware with their national anthem because there are still many people who don't know about this so it is a one more way to give awareness of this. So, finally, I would like to say that national anthem is not an entertainment song there are some lines which appreciate to our national proud and we should know that national proud is ours proud all over the world.

Thanks.

Nowadays, everyone is a patriot, everyone a nationalist, and they would thrash everyone who is not willing to be one. But what is the definition of patriotism, if a person is not willing to support national anthem in halls is a traitor, well those who are condemning him to be a traitor first look deep inside you what have you done in your life which makes you a patriot, it might happen that the so-called traitor has contributed more than you in the country's betterment. Get rid of this pseudo-patriotic feelings and stop inserting references of an army and national anthem in almost everything. You don't become a patriot by standing for your anthem or unfurling flags at Republic Day or other same occasions, it comes from your heart, irrespective of place time and most importantly the influence of the mass. So if you are a patriot you don't need national anthem in halls or flags on your vehicles, just peep in your mind and soul you will get it there.

I believe national anthem when it is played in the theatres people who are standing for National Anthem should not disrespect those who are sitting throughout the national anthem but those who are sitting also should be disrespectful towards those ere standing nobody should we forcefully made to stand during the national anthem in the theatres personally I don't appreciate the idea of the national anthem being sung in the theatre many people don't stand patriotic but they stand because they are scared that somebody might shout at them or beat them respect should not be commanded or demanded respect should be earned so whoever stands for the national anthem should stand with the heart in it I believe the value of national anthem will always be more where there is respect from the maximum people. I heard people give bad words when the national anthem starts in theatre. I believe it's absolutely wrong place for the national anthem to be in theatres.

Hello everyone.

In my opinion, the national anthem should be played in cinema halls. Because it reminds us of the nation"s unity, integrity and diversity. To all those who are saying that cinema is a place where people come to relax and enjoy, it is really ironical that you are ready to spend your 3 hours without any issues but standing for 52 seconds is objectionable for you. People who are saying that patriotism comes from within and you don't need to show it, just imagine if soldiers at the borders start thinking like this that patriotism is within me and I don't need to stand at borders to prove it then what will happen. Apart from this in today's life with so much cut-throat competition, where everyone is busy in shaping their career and planning future, somewhere in between we forget about our country, our patriotism get lost up. National anthem in cinema halls will ignite patriotic feelings in us and energize us to develop our nation.

I am afraid but I completely disagree with the idea of playing the national anthem before the screening of the movie. Actually, we have certain rules and principles to play national anthem with certain situations. The sense of patriotism comes naturally to a responsible citizen but it does not happen by force. Moreover, it played to create the sense of unity and integrity among people. It is played when we need to feel that we are united among many Diversities, such as playing national cricket team against opponents or participating our soldier any different global Initiative for peace and prosperity. While we play national anthem we should pay the respect. I don't think it is not appropriate to play anthem while we are watching a movie, which is really a commercial purpose of certain groups. What is the value of playing national anthem while the film is filled with romance, vulgarity and murder. Does not it disrespect our national anthem?

Hi friends.

I believe that good things should not be critisized. It should be encouraged and respected. Mere thinking that people don't respect national anthem in theaters and therefore it should not be played there is not right. SC has taken an initiative and today it's been playing in theaters, maybe after some time maybe it will be played at railway station, bus stands etc. We go there to enjoy so it should not be played. Really? The soldier at border is also a human being, he may be in a funny mood at least once in a day, but what if at that very time war begins. Will he think that I am in a funny mood I don't want to fight? I will not respect my nation I will not perform my duty just because I am in a funny mood. No. He never does that. It's our national anthem and unless we respect it no one else is going to pay respect. Sometimes things should not be done according to our mood. It's our moral duty and we are bound to perform it.

Good afternoon everyone.

According to my view. Its a good intiation by govt that national anthem is compulasary within the movie theater because now a days evary individual is busy in their own life running towards their works even they are not getting time to talk with their families. Then in the tug life of human it is very hard to remember national anthem for them.

Cinema is place where people in this tug life atpeast plan once to watch a movie with their families, loved ones and people gather together and go to film. There is no other place than this where diff kinds of people gather together. Ao this place is correct for playing national anthem.

There are many good people and good films where those also respect country. Not all films and people are not bad. Atleast by this people remember national anthem.

If a humans heart and mind is clean then there is no need to discuss about place and people to Respect the National Anthem.

Hello everyone, first of all, I am really thankful for getting an opportunity to express my opinion on this topic over here,

According to my point of view, I don't think that our national anthem should be played in cinema halls, because we go to cinema hall for entertainment, to relax our mind, to get relief from work. Therefore, no body of us has the mentality to pray our national anthem at that time. Apart from that when it comes to the national anthem, each of the word of it carries essential meaning so what is the necessary to play it before a "b" grade or "c" grade movie. Again there is no restrictions of standing during pray national anthem in a cinema hall, thus many people don't even stand at that time which is really a disrespect to our nation. Apart from that use to go to cinema halls with our girlfriend or boyfriend or parents so it is not at all a true place to show our respect to the nation.

Thank you,

Hello everyone!

I do agree with the point that standing for 2 minutes will give us goosebumps, but after that we will indulge in movie and just forget about national anthem for which we have stood. Hereafter we will continue our bad practices as well in favour of us. To show patriotism means, it should come from within like helping the needy, guiding others not to encourage bad practices, and we can help our nation in various ways like as soldiers do. Soldiers sacrifice their lives to make us sleep well in our places and with beloved ones. But there are many people who don't even have the shelter. We can help others in their tough situations and let them feel happy. These can show that we can respect our country in such a easy and honest way rather than compelling others to stand for anthem and making us to pretend that we are having lots of love towards our nation. It should come from heart and it should be pure.
