I enjoyed the first film but even then was surprised that it was getting a sequel. Did it need one? Probably not.
The excellent cast was what made the first outing so enjoyable so with them all back again (plus Richard Gere)regardless of the lukewarm reviews this film has gained it will be a hit.
The story holds up well and gives us a further insight into each of the beloved characters new lives in India. My personal favourite was Douglas who in the hands of Bill Nighy becomes so endearing and watchable.
It's a little over long and a bit obvious at times but I really enjoyed this film and feel that it is a sequel that more than matches the original.
