Our TV actors give us their take on whether the
national anthem should be played in theatres.Ankush Bali: I don’t think the National Athem
should not be played in halls. There is no point to show or prove patriotism
just before watching a movie.
Rohan Gandotra: In our busy life, I feel that's
the only place where we get to listen to our national anthem and we actually
stand and give respect to it. I don't think in our day to day life or even
on Republic Day and Independence day for
that matter, one actually stands up for the national anthem. Compulsion or no
compulsion, I feel it's a right decision to play the national anthem in
cinemas. It hardly takes two minutes of your free time.
Sehban Azim: There's nothing wrong in making the
national anthem compulsory in theaters, right before a movie. It's just a
two-minute thing and I guess we all as Indian citizens should have no problem
standing up for it. It would make a difference because in our school days, we
all have stood up every day for it and it reminds us of our country. It surely
induces love and praise towards our motherland. Now we hardly get to hear it or
sing it. As almost everyone goes to the theatre, so it seems the legit place to
make it happen, to invoke that same emotion which we experienced when we were
growing up.
Himmanshoo Malhotra: I think it should be played
since it keeps you in touch with the beautiful lyrics of the anthem and their
in-depth meaning. As it is life is running at such a faster pace, standing up
for the anthem and taking a respite for 2 mins is actually necessary. Also, we
must take care of the fact that all these things should be done not imposingly
but voluntarily.
Saurabh Pandey: I think the main idea of playing
the national anthem in cinema halls is to make you remember the national
anthem, as we hardly ever singh it otherwise. Secondly, we should remember that
we are Indians and the love that we have for our country should always be in
our hearts. I am sure that many of us don't even remember the lyrics of our national anthem. So I think it's a
good way to give two minutes to our country before we get ready to get
entertained. I also feel that it should be compulsorily in every factory,
office, workplace in India, to sing that national anthem before the work day
begins. I totally think it's a good thing. Also, the meaning of national anthem
is beautiful. It's a beautiful description of India.
Sanjay Gagnani: I’m a patriotic and so I wouldn’t
mind dedicating two minutes of my time in singing the national anthem before a
watching a film. But whether it should be played or not in cinema halls, I
wouldn’t like to comment on that instead I would leave that to our constitution
and supreme courts to decide. Because I have full faith in the decisions of the
constitution and the Supreme Court of my country.
Sneha Wagh: Nationality should be in heart more
than in cinema halls. I don’t understand what good it will do to play the
national anthem before a film, if people don’t know how to respect it.
Gurpreet Singh: Yes, I agree that the national anthem should be played in cinema
halls. I don't know why people can't stand for even 52 seconds, it's our
motherland after all. We have the time to watch the movie for 3 hours, but we
don’t have the time to stand for the national anthem. It is our duty to show
respect to our national anthem. Our Indian army fights every day and night and
stands for us. Our freedom fighters have struggled a lot of things to get us
independence, then why can't people respect that? Whenever there is a terrorist
attack, so many people say we are with our army. All their patriotism comes out
at that time. We should stand and show respect to our national anthem.
Gavie Chahal: Our national anthem is our pride.
Standing in respect of it is equal to respecting and touching the feet of your
parents and take their blessings every morning. Do you know that in countries
like Australia, every day at 6 PM at all community centers, pubs or wherever,
they play a 1-minute anthem in respect of their soldiers and martyr! And here
people find it difficult to stand before a film.
Sshrey Pareek: To be very honest, it's a good
gesture to remind us in theatres at least. I don't think any countryman sing or
remember national anthem in daily life. I get goosebumps every time I listen to
it in theatres and I have not seen in so many years that anyone is not standing
and disrespecting it.
Ssharad Malhotraa People go to the cinema halls to
watch a film. They go there for entertainment. At that time many of them are
not serious and don’t sing the national anthem seriously. We often see people
moving or even laughing when the national anthem is going on. This is why I
feel that it should not be played in theaters.
Arjun Bijlani Our country has given us so much and
we should be grateful. The national anthem should invoke a sense of pride in
us. If this happens, then it won’t matter where we are signing it. I am ok with
the idea of national anthems being played in cinema halls.
