The Supreme Court today indicated that it may revise its order of December 1 last year making the playing of national anthem in cinema halls mandatory before screening of the movie. The court hinted that it may replace the word "shall" with "may". <br/><br/>A bench, comprising Chief Justice Dipak Misra, Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud also said the Centre has to take a call in this matter. <br/><br/>The bench said this during the hearing when Attorney General K K Venugopal, appearing for the centre said the national anthem needs to be played in the cinema halls to bring in uniformity in this diverse country. <br/><br/>The court's directions came on a PIL filed by one Shyam Narayan Chouksey seeking directions that the national anthem should be played in all the cinema halls before a film begins.
