If you have to stand 40 times for the anthem, you must: SC
Observing that the National Anthem should be a matter of pride, the Supreme Court has said playing the anthem before movie screenings shall be compulsory in film festivals, even if one has to "stand 40 times". An organiser of an international film festival had earlier sought exemption from the directive saying it would cause inconvenience to its 1,500 foreign guests.
