Should national anthem be played in cinema halls?

Hello everyone, according to me,

Playing of the national anthem in cinema halls should not be mandatory. National Anthem symbolizes love and respect for the country which one harbours in his or her heart. So national anthem should be played in those places where people actually worship their motherland. In movie halls people mostly come to get themselves entertained and relaxed while munching some eateries. Some even get busy to have fun with their beloved in the corner seat. Should national anthem be played in such an environment where people mostly stand up during the national anthem out of compulsion? Mostly they stand up to avoid criticism from others. So in such a condition the decorum which should be present is not maintained.

Moreover, patriotism cannot be forcefully instilled in someone's mind. It should come from the very core of our heart and then only we can give the desired respect that our national anthem deserves.

So I think instead of just standing during the national anthem if one indulge himself in any activity regarding upliftment of society it will be a true gesture of love and respect for the nation and its people.

I don't know why people can't stand for even 52 seconds of time, it's our motherland. We have the time to watch the movie for 3 hours but we didn't have the time to stand. Yes, it's our duty to show respect to our national anthem.

I think that this step taken by Government should be appreciated because as I was in School I heard and tends to love the patriotic feeling towards India but when I started entering College I didn't even hear that except during Independence day and Republic day. This makes me feel so disgusted friends. As from my knowledge, Government takes a right step in right time. The entertainment stands apart, but this is the only place where the youngsters play a major role and since they are the future citizens of India they must understand the struggle for freedom of India by our freedom fighters. Hence I conclude by saying that.

Youngsters must hear the National Anthem regain their past and also they should take a resolution not only to be patriotic but also support towards development of country (EVERY INDIVIDUAL FORMS CITIZENS).

According to me national anthem should not be played in cinema halls become everything should be done at the correct place and at correct time and cinema halls are not the place to show patriotism. People go to cinema halls to have some fun time after there busy and hectic schedule so they should not be forced there to show patriotism by standing compulsorily. Not only this, but as we all know that national anthem should be sung under the sky not under the roof of any room.

With my point of view it should not be played because we should do everything in required time its not to do formality for that. Actually theaters are the place for enjoying movies not for showing patriotism. Though if it is played also then also some people sit and enjoy movie but don't respect for that some people eat there food while national anthem is played very few of them stand and give respect to that so no need for playing it.

And we should leave this decision on people only we must show the value of national anthem to the people towards our nation.

Thank you friends.

Yes, my dear friend in my opinion should be played the national anthem in cinema because it a create the feeling of unity among the people. And create the feeling of patriotism.

Yes, National anthem should be played in cinema halls because it shows a respect and lives towards our country, not only Indians visits cinema hall there are even outsiders who will actually know the value of our country INDIA.

PROUD TO BE AN INDIAN.

Hi, I'm Bindu,

I think just 2mn of standing is not enough to show our patriotic towards India. And it's not an actual correct way. By doing these formalities may not shows our respect.

First and foremost, Patriotism should not be instilled forcefully or we can not impose it on someone. The love for nation comes through heart, and our nation has great heritage where our thousand of people sacrificed their lives for sake of nation and it's solidarity. We chant national anthem in respect of nation and its culture and history, school, colleges begin there work by playing anthem, almost in all government offices it has been done.

Secondly, theatre is not a official government property, people come there by paying money to get entertainment and refreshment from their daily hectic schedule. We cannot force them to stand them because mind set in almost different, and if we do so then we are imposing forcefully on people. This should not be done and it's not parameter to judge someone nationalism.

Hello everyone,

We are insulting our country by playing national anthem in cinemas as our friends explained above clearly that all in cinema hall might not be attention, some may be drunked.

Coming to cinema hall sense to enjoy oneself. There made a no sense at all play NA in halls. For eg: why not play the NA in wine shops and expect respect from drunkers.

Instead of respect, our country all will hate if disturbed in personal life. Like that in cinema hall everyone comes for enjoying the movie but by thinking the national anthem before movie, maximum will get irritated why because it's not for one time, it is for every time when we go theaters.

So, Gov itself makes citizens hate their respected national song. Jai Hind.
