Additional InformationA small group of retirees learn that the life they want to live might not be the life they need to live after pooling their resources to spend their twilight years in India. Upon arriving at the once-opulent Marigold Hotel, however, the eager pensioners come to realise that rumours of the building's restoration have been greatly exaggerated. But just when it starts to seem that the privileged seniors have been swindled out of their life savings, they summon the courage to sever their ties to the past, and embrace their new life with a sense of wonder and adventure. Tom Wilkinson, Maggie Smith, Judi Dench, Bill Nighy, and Dev Patel star in this uplifting comedy-drama from director John Madden (THE DEBT, SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE).

ReviewsEmpire - Charming, delightful and amusing - just what you'd expect from the star-studded cast of veterans., Chicago Sun-Times - We suspect that the film will be about their various problems and that the hotel will not be as advertised. What we may not expect is what a charming, funny and heartwarming movie this is, a smoothly crafted entertainment that makes good use of seven superb veterans.
