The Supreme Court on Tuesday said playing the National Anthem before the screening of a movie is no longer mandatory. But the audience would have to stand in a show of respect if the theatre chose to play the anthem.

Film producer and distributor Dhananjayan Govind shared a few words on Twitter regarding this issue, "I love singing National Anthem every time it's played in theatres standing up. Proud of doing it. Hope theatres continue this good initiative even if not  compulsory  to instil patriotism at least in theatres 👍👍👍🙏🙏"
