- There was confusion about the initial order’s interpretation, when it was made mandatory to stand up for the national anthem before a film’s screening.
- During the screenings of Dangal, as the national anthem was a part of the storyline, there was confusion if people should stand up or not and an altercation even broke out in Mumbai over the same.
