Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, were on hand at the gala event joining Oscar-nominated director John Madden and members of the cast, including Dame Judi Dench, Lillete Dubey, Dame Maggie Smith, and Tina Desai.
Directed by John Madden, the film opens in theaters on March 6. The leading roles in the film are played by Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Dev Patel, Tina Desai, Lillete Dubey and Richard Gere.
‘The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel’ is the expansionist dream of Sonny (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 (Richard Gere) and Lavinia (Tamsin Greig). Evelyn and Douglas (Judi Dench and Bill Nighy) have now joined the Jaipur workforce, and are wondering where their regular dates for Chilla pancakes will lead, while Norman and Carol (Ronald Pickup and Diana Hardcastle) are negotiating the tricky waters of an exclusive relationship, as Madge (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 (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.
