Does singing the national anthem before a movie starts make you more Indian

. The National Anthem  pictured in the  movie,Kabhi Khush abhi Gum, is a part of the Movie. While the National Anthem is being played, one need not stand.

But, when the National Anthem is played on different occasions , Public should stand and respect the Nation. If one fails to do this much,,it's a gross injustice.

I strongly support the decision of SC to not commercialize the anthem. I remember how it was used in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gam for creating an emotional melodrama. And to my shock, nobody stood up in the theater when it was shown, the anthem sang by a British Indian child with all effort to justify his Indianness and to impress his mom. I remember people enjoying the Brit diction and no body stood to show respect

Since I have not seen the film fully I am unaware of this . However I feel that national anthem dhd be used in the right context only and not for commercial purposes 

Good decision but there are also some films which are made in India but we cannot called them an Indian movie because of bad scene which is to cheap.

Decision is right one but it is impossible to watch that everyone regards national anthem in theatres.

Why did the court dismiss the petition seeking singing of national anthem in courts before they start  everyday!!!!!

In the year 2002, Nationalist Congress party's Narendra Varma lobbied with the State Government to make playing National anthem in cinema halls of Maharashtra compulsory and it came  in to effect on January 26 2003.. He is of the opinion that National Anthem will unite people together people when played in Cinema halls since millions of people watch movies every day. But, my doubt is if National Anthem is played before television begins at home would people stand up ? I doubt.

Patriotism cannot be forced on the people. Far more people visit other places like Tirupati, Vaishno Devi etc. so every hour they should play the national anthem. It is ridiculous.

Not necessary. National anthem should be played only before a Movie starts. If somebody plays national anthem in religious places, there is a danger of branding one as crack pot.

The very fact that the apex court has come up with such a judgement shows that there is need to make people become aware of Nationalism which had been overtaken by communalism , thanks to our rulers. We see people defending terrorists, questioning and condemning the actions of the army baselessly, which shows a lack of patriotism. The Supreme court judge is not a fool to come up with such a judgement without any reason..

Supreme court's decision in this regard is welcome. Why people should be reminded of nationalism. every time ?

Patriotism and love for our own country comes from within our heart, although, singing national anthem can remind us of the love for our nation if we start feeling for our nation. No one can develop any feeling then ourselves but it is a good attempt in my opinion.

 Singing National anthem signifies that we are the subjects of the Nation India that is Bharat  We are proud of being Indians. Certainly  singing National anthem is a good attempt..

 Court must had some reason behind it.

Latest news is Supreme Court modified its order on the National Anthem and exempted people with physical disabilities from standing before screening of a movie in Cinema halls across the Nation

For me too it's a questionable verdict. Forcing patriotism through national anthem in the cinema halls is a strict disciplinarian act which is basically uncalled for. Movie watching is a lighthearted moment and making national anthem a compulsory factor is like forcing people to say prayer before going to bed. Loving motherland has nothing to do with national anthem because standing in attention for a minute will not make the anti nationalists a true nationalist.  

It is a An Apex court judgment.it must be followed like it or not.

While I tend to agree with your views , it also shows the lows to which our society has fallen with a deficit in patriotism that the apex court is probably trying the highlight and correct.. thinking individuals don't need to be reminded but probably there are others who need such measures..

Who is talking about following or not following the Apex court judgement? Every sensible person knows that the order of the court has to be followed so there is no point in discussing about it. The discussion is only about the point that why such a verdict has been passed and not about following.

Yes, the case is similar to the conditioning of school students. Due to some rowdy students in a class, teachers usually punish the whole class. The obedient lot grumbles so are we who are truly patriots but are forced to exhibit our patriotism in the theaters because of some non-patriots.

Then, the answer for your question is, the Court wanted  movie viewers in Cinema halls respect the National anthem, before the starting of a Movie by standing up because as an Indian it is the the minimum that one can do.
