Storyline
Plot Summary |
The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is the expansionist dream of Sonny Kapoor (Dev Patel), and it's making more claims on his time than he has available, considering his imminent marriage to the love of his life, Sunaina (Tina Desai). Sonny has his eye on a promising property now that his first venture, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel for the Elderly and Beautiful, has only a single remaining vacancy, posing a rooming predicament for fresh arrivals Guy Chambers (Richard Gere) and Lavinia Beech (Tamsin Greig). Evelyn Greenslade (Dame Judi Dench) and Douglas Ainslie (Bill Nighy) have now joined the Jaipur workforce, and are wondering where their regular dates for Chilla pancakes will lead, while Norman Cousins (Ronald Pickup) and Carol Parr (Diana Hardcastle) are negotiating the tricky waters of an exclusive relationship, as Madge Hardcastle (Celia Imrie) juggles two eligible and very wealthy suitors. Perhaps the only one who may know the answers is newly installed co-manager of the hotel, Muriel Donnelly (Dame Maggie Smith), the keeper of everyone's secrets. As the demands of a traditional Indian wedding threaten to engulf them all, an unexpected way forward presents itself. Written by Fox Searchlight |

Did You Know?
Trivia | In this movie, Evelyn Greenslade (Dame Judi Dench) claims Muriel Donnelly (Dame Maggie Smith) is only nineteen days older than her. In real life, Smith (born December 28, 1934) is nineteen days younger than Dench (born December 9, 1934). See more » |
Goofs | During the party a musician is trying to play a tanpura as if it were a sitar. A tanpura is a fretless drone instrument that is held upright and with the open strings simply being plucked. No doubt this error was noticed by every single Indian on the set. See more » |
