Synopsis: The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is the expansionist dream of Sonny, and it’s making more claims on his time than he has available, considering his imminent marriage to the love of his life, Sunaina.

For those who enjoyed the The Best Marigold Hotel back in 2011. For those who laughed out loud at the witticism of Maggie Smith or the inventiveness of Dev Patel. For those who cried when Tom Wilkingson found what he was looking for. And for those who got excited when Bill Nighy came back for Judy Dench.

All of you have a date at the movie theatre to discover that, this time, Celia Imrie perhaps will trap a forever sexy, white haired Richard Gere in this new feel-good feature film that will take you one more time all the way to India and its particularities, its colours and its flavours.

Some critics have made clear that this sequel brings nothing new to the story. I say that if you enjoyed the first movie… then you were left wanting more, and here it is for your own delight.

Welcome to the Second Best Marigold Hotel. Hope you enjoy your stay.
