Should National Anthem Be Played In Cinemas?

Almost eleven months after the Supreme Court made it mandatory for cinema halls to play National Anthem before screening of films, the court on Monday strongly hinted at modifying its order, saying it is for the Centre to take a call on framing appropriate rules and regulations.

A bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud turned down the Centre's plea not to tinker with its earlier order and instead asked it to take a call on playing of the national anthem in cinema halls and at other events. It said the issue falls in the executive domain and the government should not ask the court to pronounce on functions that are in the Centre's jurisdiction.
 
"Why do we have to wear patriotism on our sleeves? People go to cinema for undiluted entertainment and to ease out. Tomorrow someone may say people should not come in shorts and t-shirts in cinema halls as the national anthem is played there. Where then do we draw the line. Where (will) this moral policing would stop?" Justice Chandrachud said.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • 'Why do we have to wear patriotism on our sleeves?': SC
  • It is for the government to take a decision: SC on National Anthem being made mandatory in cinema halls
  • SC grants Centre time till January 9 to “take a call one way or other” on framing rules on playing on National Anthem in theatres and other public events

We can say 'may' instead of 'shall' in our order which would allow the government to bring the law," the bench said. It asked the Centre to take a decision without being influenced by its interim order.

The view of the apex court was rather contrary to what was the case on November 30 last year when it directed that all cinema halls must play the national anthem before screening of films, saying "it would instil the feeling within one, a sense (of) committed patriotism and nationalism".

The interim order, incidentally, was passed by a bench headed by Justice Dipak Misra before he became the CJI and led to numerous petitions to bring schools and public offices, including courts, within the ambit of the order.

According to me, National Anthem should be played in cinema halls and not just in cinema halls, in all public gatherings as well. This will rise the feeling of patriotism in hearts of people. And it''s not compulsory to wear full clothes to the cinema hall because the character of a person can''t be decided on the basis of what he/she wears.

Ritvik Baweja BAL BHARTI PUBLIC SCHOOL (PITAM PUR

The significance of playing the National Anthem in cinema halls is upheld only if the people respect it, rather than standing just for a formality. Thus, playing the national anthem in cinema halls holds no sense when the citizens standing before it only disrespect it''s spirit.

Nidhi MAYUR PUBLIC SCHOOL(PATPATGANJ)

National anthem is something that shows our respect towards our country. It should definitely be played at cinema before starting of a movie.

JOMILIN JOHN ST.ANTHONY'S SR.SEC SCHOOL

People think that playing national anthem just before cinema will kindle the feeling of nationalism among Indians but I am against this ideology. Nationalism is a feeling which every Indian should keep and uphold . National anthem should be also given the same respect and obeissance whenever it is played either in schools or in a official gathering but not in cinema halls. It''s the wish of each person whether to stand up or not . One cannot deliberately force to do that.

Tarush Sharma Dps pinjore

I think that playing national anthem should not be compulsory as just by playing it doesn''t rise the feeling of patriotism as its not the only definition of patriotism.

Vishnupriya Saji Army Public School, PRTC

I strongly feel national anthem should be played in Cinema halls as well as in all Public gathering to create a sense of patriotism among the people.

Devesh.M VVS SARAH PATEL HIGH SCHOOL

Yes, because it symbolizes that patriotism towards our country is a must... and most of the people of this generation have forgotten the values,struggle for freedom by the freedom fihhters,the people have taken it in a granted manner ...so they must respect the National Anthem when it''s being played at the cinemas...

D. Archanaa Bethel Mat Hr Sec School

National anthem should be played in the theatre .Before everything we should respect our country, so we sing national anthem.This increases patriotism in the young minds and as well as adults.Before starting any movie national anthem should. be sung

Ankita Paul Shri Shikshayatan School

I love my country and I proudly stand with my head held high during our national anthem but I also believe that forcing the feeling of patriotism won''t help. And I''ve seen people annoyed by the national anthem being played in movie halls. So I think this decision is working in exactly the opposite way as expected.

Hemalatha.G Sethu Bhaskara Matriculation Higher Secondary Scho

I don''t think it should be made mandatory. Because it''s like forcing people to stand especially for our national anthem, which many of them ignore. Feeling of patriotism should come from their heart and it should not be forced. People who visit theater often will get disappointed to wait and it will become normal for such people. National anthem should be respected. We''ve to feel from the base of the heart.

Roma Ramcoumar Bethel Mat Hr Sec School

Yes it should be played in theaters . It increases the feel of patriotism . It is not like forcing people but its an action to bring out the love for our country . I support this .

kaushyik Velammal Matric Hr Sec School ..

National anthem can be played during special occasions like independence day or Republic day etc. But playing it and respecting it when we come to a cinema is some thing a little awkward. Because cinema is meant for jovial being. But putting national anthem is some thing different.

Bhumika Arora Hansraj Model School

Patriotism is an emotion, just as love or hate. We cannot generate it on being pursued to. It should be naturally in our blood. I don''t condemn the decision to play national anthem before movies but doubt it to help to generate patriotism among the viewers.

A little patriotism and respect hurts nobody...It''s actually a pretty good thing that the SC made it mandatory for the national anthem to be played in cinema halls. They didn''t ask you to sacrifice your life. Its india''s land you live on and feed off. You could give few seconds of your time to show some gratitude.

Seejal Sharma HOLY CHILD SCH PKL-SEC-2

Playing National Anthem in a cinema hall is a good idea as this would rise the feeling of love for the nation. Today people need 15 August and 25 January to show their love for the country, why not sing the National Anthem before a movie, why not remember your nation. As we all know that watching movies is one of the most enjoyed activity so everytime a person visits a theatre he would surely sing the National Anthem and feel proud for being Indian
