Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

On November 30, 2016, a two-judge bench of the Supreme Court of India issued an interim order mandating that the National Anthem must be played in all cinema halls across the country before a movie starts, and that the doors must be closed and all patrons must stand to show respect. This direct judicial order was later modified in early 2018 to make the practice optional.
