Running Time: 2 Hours and 2 Minutes
This is the follow-up movie sequel to the very popular 2012 movie
"The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" based on the novel by Deborah Moggach. It is the story about the young hotel entrepreneur Sonny Kapoor (Dev Patal) and his plight to try and get his second hotel up and running while still trying to keep his beautiful fiance Sunaina (Tina Desai) from the clutches of his competitor Kushal (Shazad Latif).
Several elderly British citizens move to India to live out their golden years to find peace, tranquility, excitement and love.
Ms. Muriel Donnelly (Maggie Smith) has a very sweet and dear relationship with Sonny and he looks to her for wisdom, guidance and counsel in matters of many difficult situations he is faced with.
Evelyn Greenslade (Judi Dench) unexpectedly finds herself in a rather precarious situation. Being offered a most important job and falling in love at her age is very confusing, she has to contemplate what she should do.
Joining the group of British retirees is the American, Guy Chambers (Richard Gere). He finds himself interested in Sonny's widowed mother Mrs. Kapoor (Lellete Dubey) much to Sonny's dismay.
This is a most colorful and beautiful story of life in both the older crowd and also the young Indian couple. I really enjoyed the insight into Indian life and the circumstances that surround it,
I especially enjoyed the beautiful Indian wedding of Sonny and Sunaina. It was very rich with Indian culture, tradition and color. This was an emotional and very touching movie.
Parents be advised: This movie is rated PG. I really enjoyed this movie and would recommend it for children over 10 years of age, not because of objectionable content but just because the story is suited for an older audience.
I am giving "The Second Best Marigold Hotel" three bags of popcorn.
