Should national anthem be played in cinema halls?

I agree to people saying the national anthem should be played before the movie starts in the cinema hall and would like to add some more points, cricket is too a form of entertainment but still, we chant there. Also after our school ends we don't sing the national anthem on any basis. Hence, to keep that spark of "patriotism" we need this. How often do we visit to watch movies? on an average 12 times a year max and it isn't too much to give 10 minutes in a year to your nation I believe. After all, movies published, and produced in our country are a form of growth of the economy which must be aligned with its essence and an NRI watches movies in INDIA it's a pride and elation to make them amicable to our culture. I think it's a sign of respect & not disrespect.

In my opinion.

The national anthem should be played in the cinema hall. It's very important in our life because we are Indians and it's shows our nationaly. And in the cinema hall, every age is to be presented and it's a very good environment because no one knows to other all are known but Because of national, we are connected to each other and sing a song together. And also in these senior children only use Mobile and playing games but when they went to cinema hall and they learn and show love to our nationality.

And it just a 52 sec standing it's also good for health because after that you only sit on the year for 2 Hr.

Our soldiers play their duty and because of soliders we laugh easily, we live tension free so just only 52 sec. We shows love to our nation.

Hii friends, My point of view on this topic is,

The National anthem should not be played in cinema halls because we go there for enjoyment not to show our patriotism. We should show our patriotism where it needs no need to formality. Suppose you go cinema halls, and before starting movie any romantic or filmy or any songs is played there then that is ok because there is nothing wrong people went there for that. But think that on 15 Augst or 26 Jan, you go near the flag, and any filmy songs are played then you will obviously oppose that because your expectation is there (standing near the flag) is to listen to national anthem not any kind of filmy song. Same thing happens when you go in cinema your expectation is there to enjoy not to show patriotism.

Yes, I think national anthem should be played at cinema halls. Students can do it in their institutions, schools, etc. But a common man rarely hears or had a time/chance to have a value of national anthem in their life. Cinema halls are a good place for such common citizens. It gives a sense of patriotism and memorise us of our freedom fighters because of whom we are enjoying such a wonderful moments. Some people say " we love our nation and we don't need such kind of formalities to show our patriotism". I want to suggest them that respecting anything and realising it are two different things. We all know and believe in god but we too go to temples to realise it or to have a better sensation of devotion. Same thing applies here also. Thanks.

According to me, National Anthem should be played in cinema halls. Tell me one thing, what\'s the problem in playing it before a movie? If you are not playing it no issues. But if you play it then what's the problem? I think there is no problem. Instead while standing for national anthem with other 100 to 200 Indians will make you feel proud of your nation. There will be people from the different area of your city whom you don't even know. But while standing with them for national anthem a brotherhood feeling will come for them. And it is just about 52 sec. One more thing, other than twice in a year (26th Jan and 15th Aug) when do we play national anthem. So it is better to play it in the cinema hall.

Thanks and Regards

Hello friends, I undoubtedly support this idea of standing to sing our national anthem before the start of movie. But we need to change our point of view by taking this thing positively. By positivity I mean to say, consider it as a discipline. Guys I would like to ask you very simple question, why we used to sing national anthem during assembly in our school days? The answer is very simple "discipline". And this word carries a huge weight. No Matter how rich you become, no matter how old you grow, you stand nowhere without discipline or we can say that it play a vital role to get you to the top. So irrespective of the movie which will be going on, just give your couple of minutes for the sake of your own good. It will be quite helpful.

I think national anthem should be played in cinema because it somehow a little bit but increase our patriotism and I want to say that it is the fact that if someone is not STANDING during national anthem then somehow he/she has less feeling towards his/her country but it doesn't mean they don't have respect for their country.

And also some people try to identify people patriotism by asking them name of martyrs that was not good that it does not show our patriotism, PATRIOTISM IS NOT GENERAL KNOWLEDGE OF COUNTRY. Patriotism is in everyone no I think not everyone but most of the people it seems when we saw our national flag or in any other way.

So national anthem should be played in cinema but don't be judge people on the basis of it.

National anthem must not be played in a cinema theatre, the national anthem has a huge respect, it gives patriotic feel in our heart. We respect our national anthem. If it is played in a cinema theatre, its respect goes down. The National anthem has a huge respect. It must be played only in right places. In cinema theatre, different kind of cinema is shown, film is a mix of comedy, fight, love etc. When we are going to watch a film in theatres, it can be any kind of films like love or horror. If the national anthem plays in the hall, its respect is gone down. Everyone has huge respect for our country, national anthem. It must be played when it is necessary. I love my country, so I request not to play national anthem in cinema halls.

I feel that it is not reaching the people in the correct way that is the concept behind it is not really getting change in the society. If the playing national anthem playing in the cinema halls is really worth then I will say with an example here.

Suppose if ther is any movie based on the concept of freedom fighters only some of them will adopt the movie and watch it. For this type of movies even there will be no hose full board. But if there is any commercial movie then all the people will be watching the movie even purchasing the tickets from black.

First of all, the mind set should be changed by their own no one can do nothing. Govt may be thinking that it makes some sense by playing the anthem but it dosen't make any sense.

What has national anthem got to do with cinema halls I really can't understand. Ok it can be accepted in cinema halls playing some patriotic films which make us proud of our nation such as biography of Netaji or Gandhiji or any other national hero. In modern days, most of the cinemas have erotic and vulgar contents. So what have they got to do national anthem. People will sing national anthem and then watch those things. It will be a total bluff in the name of nation. And most couples visit cinema halls not for watching movies but with other intention. What effect will the national anthem have on them? And if national anthem is to be made mandatory in cinema halls. Then why not in schools, colleges and every other work place.
