Judi Dench (My Week With Marilyn), Tom Wilkinson (The Debt), Bill Nighy (Wrath of the Titans), Maggie Smith (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2), Celia Imrie (Nanny McPhee) and Penelope Wilton (TV’s Downton Abbey) play retirees who are enticed by an ad for The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel in India. They travel to the country only to find their new home isn’t quite what they expected. But as they face their adversities, the magic of India and the passion of the young man (Dev Patel, Slumdog Millionaire) running the hotel helps each of the older residents grow.
