Director: Pat Boonnitipat
Grandma's fortune is up for grabs, and only one grandchild is willing to do the unglamorous work of earning it.
What is How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies about?
M, a college dropout who spends his days streaming video games, hears that his aunt walked away with a house after nursing her father-in-law through his final years. When his own grandmother is diagnosed with stage-four cancer, M sees an opening: move in, cook her favorite congee, drive her to temple, and quietly outmaneuver his cousins for a place in her will. The 2024 Thai comedy-drama, directed by Pat Boonnitipat, spends its first act mining easy laughs from M's transparent scheming, then lets the tone shift as the routines of caregiving start to mean something he didn't expect. Feeding a stubborn old woman her medicine, sitting through her stories, learning the language of her small daily complaints — none of it was supposed to matter, and all of it starts to. The film never pretends inheritance isn't part of the equation; it just keeps widening the frame around it until money looks like the least interesting thing happening between them.
Cast & crew
Putthipong Assaratanakul carries the film's tonal swing from opportunist to reluctant caretaker, while Usha Seamkhum, in her first screen role, gives the grandmother a stubbornness and dry humor that keeps the story from tipping into sentimentality.
Context & significance
The film became one of the highest-grossing Thai releases in recent memory and traveled widely across Asian box offices, part of a wave of regional family dramas that use inheritance and eldercare as a lens on generational obligation.
