Should national anthem be played in cinema halls?

In my view, it should be played in cinema hall before starting the patriotic movies or movies on social thinking or movies about our soldiers then it will be a great respect for national anthem & also it will show our respect towards the society & soldiers & anthem that at least we are giving some part of time to sing national anthem from our entertainment time. It will give us the zeal to feel like a patriot, we will feel unite ourselves, i.e there are different variety & culture of people in cinema hall & we are presenting a unity in diversity that will a great achievement. Before watching the movie we will have the enthusiasm so that we can enjoy the movie with patriot feeling.

But it will a disrespect to play the national anthem before the adult or bulgur movies.

But our society will not change by playing national anthem anywhere whether it will be public or cinema hall, our society will change by changing our habits & doing a great contribution to the betterment of society.

Today's youngs are not on the right track so it will be a great measure to set back them on the right track & it depends on you whether you are respecting or not your national anthem.

No, I don't think national anthem should be played in cinema halls because I don't think the nationalism is something that shouldn't be forced upon anyone and also playing national anthem in cinema halls is not a best way to generate patriotism.

As per as my opinion, the national anthem is necessary for all Indian because of it can give a proud feeling.

According to me, we are many times stand in queues like a bus, train, traffic, doctor, bank, Railways, and etc then why people are not given the time for the national anthem.

Yes, I totally support the fact that national anthem should be played in cinema halls because it can give rise to patriotism among people and make a person proud of his or her country moreover there are many people who do not know the full national anthem which is very shameful so it is a good initiative.

No, national anthem should not be played in cinema halls because national anthem is played in open sky and not under the roof. It shows disrespect towards our national song.

Playing National Anthem before movies is not a good idea. Injecting patriotism is not a right way, it will definitely cause pitfalls. I think in India, we all done our schooling along with a good start with a National Anthem, so there is no need to practice how to respect National Anthem. It's in our blood and we all love our country, and of course our National Anthem too. The Intention of watching a movie is purely entertainment and relaxation. In between, there is no need for a mock drill for patriotism. Because, while in the beginning, everyone will be in a rush for a ticket, popcorn, cokes, or eagerly searching for their seats, in between why should we create a space to show disrespect, even though they didn't do it to purposefully.

So, according to me, playing national anthem in meetings, schools, may be in workplaces will be fine and respected and we must avoid playing National Anthem in cinema halls.

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. In my opinion, it does not make a difference whether the national anthem is played in a cinema hall or not. You cannot enforce patriotism over anybody.

I love my country but there are just not enough people who will do the same and actually pay their respect. I can give a simple example of an incident that took place recently to justify the above statement. While I was at the movies with a friend to watch the movie " Dangal ", everybody stood up at the beginning for the anthem before the movie played because we are obligated to do so since it is now a law. What happened after, was entirely surprising. There is a part in the movie where they play the anthem and nobody stood up because they weren't obligated to since it's not compulsory. The only ones who took the initiative to stand up were my friend and I after which only a few others followed. My point is that, whether it is in the movies or elsewhere, you cannot enforce patriotism. This has to come from within. So making it a rule will not make a difference.

Yes, I think National Anthem should be played in the cinema hall. Everyone of us loves our country, so giving a tribute to all our freedom fighters is worth giving. And it's merely of 52 seconds which every Indian should spare. Love my country. Have a sense of understanding and respect of this National song. Jai Hind!

The National anthem shouldn't be played in cinema halls, because along with the attentive audience there is an ignorant audience too, who do not pay attention to the minute things, such as standing in attention, standing wherever you are until the national anthem is over, not moving unnecessarily and much more. Also, their ignorance leads to the insult of our national anthem and to the nation as well. Also, suggesting that everyone should be taught the basic etiquettes to national anthem is not a practical approach. Hence, to avoid the insult and a feeling of rage within those who respect the country. It shouldn't be played.
