Bollywood filmmaker J.P. Dutta Thursday presented a disappointing picture of himself at the 58th National Film Awards when he failed to pronounce right the names of regional actors, directors and movies that he judged as the chairperson of the feature film jury for the prestigious awards. In a lighter vein, he defended himself by saying, "I'm sorry I didn't do my homework. I was too tired after watching all those films!" As most top honours were swept away by Tamil movie 'Aadukalam' and Malayalam film 'Adaminte Makan Abu', the Hindi filmmaker throughout the press conference faced difficulty in rolling his tongue to announce the names of the winners. He took the help of his jury member, Tamil filmmaker Bharat Bala, with the names, and even called a south Indian press photographer to ease out his problem. Dutta, known for blockbuster like 'Border', faced incessant queries and requests from...

It’s not rare for a film to come from the heart, but it’s extremely rare for a movie to be as personal as Beginners, the latest feature from writer/director Mike Mills. In the past decade, Mills has been through some extraordinary life moments. His freshly out of the closet father passed away, and soon after, he fell in love (with filmmaker Miranda July). Having learned so much from these events, part-time graphic designer Mills shares his vibrant ideas about loss and love with a beautiful script that has no limits to its personal levels.
When Oliver (Ewan McGregor) meets the irreverent and unpredictable Anna (Mélanie Laurent) only months after his father Hal (Christopher Plummer) has passed away, this new love floods Oliver with memories of his father who – following 44 years of marriage – came out of the closet at age 75 to live a full, energized, and wonderfully tumultuous gay life.
