A group of seven English retirees visit Jaipur , India with diverse immediate purpose – ranging from searching for a long-lost-contact friend to getting a hip-bone surgery at an low cost- But all of them have a common longing.. search for a future of their choice, unlike their past. None of them is comfortable financially and so they check in into a not-so-prosperous hotel. Their initial unease slowly vanishes , as they discover undiluted pleasure at no cost. The best thing about the movie is that it is never dull. The pace is smooth. No sudden twists or turns. Humor and emotion blend in the equal measure. The performance of Judi Dench and Maggie Smith is flawless. They look as charming as their younger counterpart Tena Desae. Dev Patel , as the optimistic owner/manager is impressive. ( Definitely not ) The Best ( not so ) Exotic Marigold Hotel is an enjoyable movie for the entire family. For those who see Jaipur, India only through this movie, it may come as a surprise that Jaipur, despite its dusty busy streets ( as shown in the movie ), is one the most beautiful cities of India, fondly and rightly named "Pink City". It has beautiful landscapes, gardens, lakes, breathtaking palaces and many really "exotic" hotels in affordable prices. The food and hospitality have to be experienced to be appreciated. Shopping in this city can be memorable.

A quartet of four classical musicians, who have been performing together for more than 25 years, face the sad news of one of them detected with Parkinson's.. They have to look for alternatives and move on.. They hesitate to experiment..

Unfolds stories of inter-personal relations, monotonous love, clash of egos.and the oppressive effect a perfectionist can have on others..

The movie is touching.. though the story is thin, pace of the movie is never dragging.. He cast is great. Christopher Walken impresses with his authenticity.Philip Seymour Hoffman are Catherine Keener are brilliant.

It is another good movie from Italian director Gabriele Muccino who gave great English-language movies like " The Pursuit of Happiness " and "Seven Pounds " in addition to some great Italian movies..

Gerard Butler is always handsome In this movie he has done some good acting too.. as a failed man, a good soccer ex-player and coach and news-caster, a husband who is still in love with his ex-wife, a charming man found irresistible by ladies, who are equally irresistible ( Catherine Zeta_Jones and Uma Thurman )--and above all a loving, caring ,trying father..

I have always found Jessica Beil attractive.. she has played the emotional role very effectively..

I feel both Gerard Butler and Jessica Beil are underrated, as is the movie.. Ignore the rating for 100 min and enjoy the romantic movie, which has interesting turns and twists ..

You will love it..
