Ends 05/31/13. Seven British seniors move to a retirement residence in India that doesn't come quite as advertised in this 'charming Indian odyssey' (Hollywood Reporter). Calling the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel a dump is a kind understatement--birds are roosting in some rooms--but for the new arrivals, it soon reveals an enchanting side as they experience life in a wildly different culture.

An award-winning, all-star cast, led by Judi Dench, Bill Nighy, Maggie Smith and Tom Wilkinson, lights up this “buoyant comedy laced with genuine emotion”. When seven cash-strapped seniors decide to “outsource” their retirement to a resort in far-off India, friendship and romance blossom in the most unexpected ways. Smart, life-affirming and genuinely charming, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is a “true classic that reminds us that it’s never too late to find love and a fresh beginning at any age”.

British pensioners on a tight budget move to a retirement home in india; their adventures there giving them a new lease on life.
