National Anthem will be played in all movie theatres now

The Supreme Court has directed all movie theatre owners to play national anthem before screening of any movie.

The Apex Court stated everyone must stand to pay respect to it. Along with the anthem, national flag will also be showed on the movie screen.

"People now-a-days don't know how to sing national anthem and people must be taught. We must respect national anthem," the top court said.

Meanwhile, the SC said the national anthem must not be played on entertainment TV shows as it cannot be commercially exploited.

The anthem must not be printed on an "undesirable place" either.
