Aamir Khan’s Christmas release ‘Dangal,’ which also stars Fatima Sana Shaikh, Sanya Malhotra and Sakshi Tanwar in lead roles, has received an overwhelming response at the box-office. The film already crossed Rs. 100 Crores in its first week collections.

As per latest guidelines by the Supreme Court of India, it is mandatory to start the movie after playing National Anthem. However, Dangal movie played the National Anthem twice. Yes, the national anthem was again played at the end of the movie when Geeta Phogat won the gold medal for India in CWG 2010. This is how people reacted for playing National Anthem Twice.

There are some mixed responses from the audience. The moment has seen people rise up in respect in theaters across the country. However, many viewers have stated that they felt obligated to stand only in order to avoid untoward incidents.

Here are some twitter reactions to this confused scenario in the hall.

Lessons from #dangal – Ppl dont need a court ruling to make them stand up for National Anthem….it just comes from inside & at right moment

The most defining moment of #Dangal is when the people in the theatre stand up for the national anthem at the end naturally out of respect.

First time in Dubai, almost the whole theater stood up for the Indian national anthem. Thank you #Dangal for this experience.

That’s how you make people stand for the National Anthem and not by forcing it. Lesson well taught. #DangalDay #Dangal@aamir_khan

Playing national anthem in the climax was a very smart move of taking much deserved standing ovation. #Dangal

I had to stand up for national anthem in #Dangal and it was not out of respect, but fear.

Many people stood for national anthem during ‘Dangal’ because when people in their front row stood, they couldn’t watch the movie.

Some people stood up out of respect while some out of the fear of NOT ABIDING BY THE LAW.What are your views about it? Do let us know in the comment section below.
