The sequel to 2011’s surprise box-office hit about a group of British pensioners in India unsurprisingly sticks with the winning formula of cherished British thespians playing to type. Maggie Smith, Judi Dench, Bill Nighy and their fellow veterans are all still there in Dev Patel’s dilapidated Jaipur hotel, which is bursting at the seams with new storylines, including an imminent wedding. There’s also a new guest in the form of Richard Gere’s urbane silver fox, who Patel mistakes for an undercover hotel inspector. 2015, PG,122MIN
