One thing also forget..
when SC ordered the cinema halls to make national anthem necessarily played in halls,
there was a lot of bullying and harassment against people who could not stand up, they would get beaten or even thrown out from the hall. A lady complained that she could not stand up because of the child in her hands and she was harassed to infinity.
this was also one of the reasons which people protested against the idea. clearly, u can't bully or harass someone in the name of nationalism. if I respect national anthem it has to come from within. And I really do it, whenever there is a national occasion where NA is playing, I get frozen there, but cinema hall is not that place.
SC had to make it optional hence which is why not all theaters play NA anymore..
