I didn't enjoy this movie, and I would not recommend it to a friend. I fell asleep for about 20 minutes in the middle.
I'm not sure why it lacked the first movie's charm for me, but one thing is that it didn't seem to have much of a story. It lacked depth. It was too busy. I couldn't piece it together. Most of the romance was cliché and dreary and unbelievable. I didn't like the character of Sonny Kapoor, but I| couldn't tell whether it was Patel's acting or the character itself (he was supposed to be annoying).
I was unable to coast only on scenes of the "elderly and beautiful" doing their thing and life in Jaipur, India. (Although getting to know that city through the movie makes up for it...) At the end, Maggie Smith was delivering a profound message -- but I didn't get it and I'm sorry I didn't get it. I didn't even know why she was leaving. Did I miss something?
