Should national anthem be played in cinema halls?

According to me it shouldn't be played into the cinema halls because everyone doesn't have patriotism and in the cinema halls there are people of several religion who don't want to listen or sing this national anthem it is just a wasting of time for them and it is also a disrespecting of our national anthem and another reason is that the national anthem should be played in an open area instead of into the four walls and the person who is into the cinema halls they don't focus into the national anthem they starts their gossips related to their movies and all.

I see absolutely no reason to attempt to arouse patriotic feelings in a crowd that has gone to the cinemas solely for entertainment. Not a single soul goes there to get patriotically recharged. Here are a few other reasons;.

Playing national anthem is a total distraction from the mood that one goes to a movie theatre for.

Just playing or singing national anthem does not instil more patriotism.

Patriotism is tied to a country's boundary. It does not expand to humans or beings and therefore it makes you isolated in your thoughts and approach to how your perceive the world around you.

The patriotic feeling in the heart is something that was high in demand at a certain time in the past. There are other causes that need more attention such as cleanliness, giving respect to others, caring for the poor, and the list goes on. What good does it do our society or to humanity if a person has a patriotic feeling or not?

The legal system has better things to do. Cases stay pending for decades in the legal system and that is what they should focus on flushing out. This is not a legal issue - it is an issue relating to entertainment and people's patriotic feelings.

No other country in the world does it.

Hi everyone, I'm Nikita, I would like to share my view on this topic.

First of all, we are Indian and secondly, It comes on us automatically whenever we are going outside and we listened to the national anthem so we stand there and sing. It's a human nature but nobody can force us. In this generation, nobody has a feeling for that person's who left their life for freedom. I want to ask a question for you guys tell me that you are going in a cinema hall to watch the movie you have 2:00 hours for that but you don't give the 2min to our nation but It depends on person to person how much respect they give their nation.

The thing is that not all of us are able to enlist in the Indian armed forces, due to lack of willingness or physical disability. But when it comes to showing respect to our country, which has provided us directly or indirectly everything we need, then standing in an ac room for 1 or 2 minutes, should not cause anyone any problem.

There were many freedom fighters who laid down their lives for us happily. If they were to see us today not willing to stand when the national anthem is played, wouldn't you think they would regret fighting for this great nation?

In a country that is plagued with communal violence and regional hatred, the only thing that may unite us is the love for our nation. So if we lose our patriotism and if we don't stand up to our national anthem, then the day is not far when our great country will be destroyed by enemy forces.

This freedom should be given to cinema hall owner. It is their choice to play or not. I agree that singing the national anthem is not the proof of your patriotism towards the country, but what is a problem if you sing once. It hardly takes 52 seconds to complete. We can waste our 3hr time in watching a movie, then can't we spare 52 sec time for the national anthem. It is usually seen that we salute our flag and sing national anthem just twice in a year that is independence and republic day, so cinema hall provides one more day to sing and salute it. What is wrong in that?

I think it is a great step taken by SC about playing national anthem in cinema. In Colombia and Thailand, it is a law to play national anthem in every morning in every public TV and radio. And I think playing in cinemas is much better than playing in TV and Radio stations because in the home typically people never stand up while national anthem because nobody is watching them but in cinemas, they have to stand up and respect national anthem it brings unity in them. At least they remember to respect their nation. As nowadays it is only mandatory in schools and our youth is becoming self-centered. They have no time to be patriotic. And cinemas is the plays where today's youth often go. And I don't think the person respecting his or her country have a problem to stand just for 52 sec for respecting nation before watching a movie.

Yes, I completely feel the national anthem should be played in cinema halls. Normally what happens is that the younger generation does not get to learn the importance of the national anthem because such things are normally not discussed in the family. So many youngsters come to see the movies and if they see people standing up whenever it is played it will definitely instill a sense of pride and respect in them. Moreover, there are foreign tourists that come to these cinema halls, seeing so many people standing up to the anthem would obviously send a good impression.

I feel there is no need to play national anthem in cinema halls because if we want to respect our nation we can do that anywhere. Why only in cinema halls just because all gather there. Some come for fun. To spend time with their beloved ones. Standing up for 2 minutes is not an issue. But most of them won't do that. They are busy with their works. Actually no one bother about. One should feel the patriotism we can't force. I wanna conclude saying that if we really respect love care for the nation. Why only in cinema halls. We can feel patriotism anywhere and everywhere.

I believe national anthem not only in cinema but should be a part of every social gathering. This is the way to show our patriotism and respect towards the nation. Indian got independence with a lot of sacrifices and we should not to forget these sacrifices. We must respect our independence, we just respect our national anthem. Jai Hind.

No from my point of view, the National anthem is our nation. It has to play in the open sky. And depend on the movie also if the movie is released of the Indian armies such as Shershah LOC Kargil or Surya the soldier. These movies are part of the Indian army. With respect of the Indian army, we can play the national anthem. But in other movies, we don't need to play.
