Why do we have national anthem before the beginning of a movie ??
Why do we have national anthem before the beginning of movies in theaters ??--when everyone has to stand up .
Is this done in other nations also ?? Or only in India ?? When we cant defend against terrorists , what is the point in such symbolic gestures ?? Dont we waste too much time in fighting over symbols anyway ??--like statues etc . Cant we bother more about the real issues facing the nation ??

Re: Why do we have national anthem before the beginning of a movie ??
Should there be a national anthem before everything/anything you start? No. At least, not if people have natural pride for their nation. But in a country where pride is the last thing you will find in a person and ego is treated as a sin... maybe there is a need to drive the national anthem at every instant... lest we forget what or why our nation is

Re: Why do we have national anthem before the beginning of a movie ??
My mother tells me that long ago, playing the national anthem before a movie was standard practice. Then it stopped. Maybe people were not paying respect by standing at attention.
In my 2010 trip to India, I learnt that this practice has now been reinstated. Its a common practice for the national anthem to be sung at a football game here in the USA. Maybe the Indian government wants to remind people once in a while that they should feel proud of India and respect the tricolour. |

It was some brainchild of SS I think .

In Bangalore, Hyderabad or Chennai I don't remember the anthem being played, at least 2 years ago.

Re: Why do we have national anthem before the beginning of a movie ??
AFAIK previously the national anthen was played after the movie got over then someone objected that people are in a hurry to leave the theater and no one pays respect to the anthem and it was stopped altogether but now it seems they started it before the movie starts.
Its been years that I visited a theater to watch a movie,dont remember when was the last time I saw one ![]() Quote:

Heard this long back dont know how true is this but somewhere in NY a man in the middle of the night felt a theif in his house he quickly remembered his taperecorder having a national anthem and he pressed the play button to scare away the theif but the theif stood in attention hearing the national anthem being played taking advantage of this the man tied him and called the police to have him arrested.In the court the thief was pardoned for respecting the national anthem and the man who played the anthem was jailed. |

Earlier in the 70's also national anthem used to be played in movie theaters, perhaps that was effect of '71 war etc. Think that might have been discontinued 80's onwards. |

If Indians feel patriotic enough they will demand the anthem themselves, but this forceful singing is of no use. In the US, the people will always have this feeling 'America the greatest nation! God bless America! We are the best in the world' built into them, whatever their political leanings and economic status. In India, no one really cares because all said and done, our politicians - all parties included - are not terribly inspiring to anyone and dont give a sense that yes we are India, the next superpower. Instead we have to keep banging our own drum that we are the next 'emerging', 'shining' superpower in the making. Yeah, right! ![]() |
