How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies

M is a university dropout who has been scraping by since leaving school, and when money runs out he signs up to care for his terminally ill grandmother with one selfish hope, an inheritance that might set him up. What starts as a practical arrangement soon becomes complicated, as long buried resentments, small acts of kindness, and unexpected tenderness surface in the cramped home they share. The story stays close to ordinary days, showing how minor choices and awkward conversations escalate into moral questions about loyalty, survival, and family obligation, while leaving the outcome uncertain and the characters imperfectly seen. The film uses small gestures and awkward silences to reveal character, not big explanatory scenes or easy answers at all.

Released in 2024, the film was created by Thodsapon Thiptinnakorn and Pat Boonnitipat, and features Putthipong Assaratanakul as M, Usha Seamkhum as Amah, Sanya Kunakorn, Sarinrat Thomas, and Pongsatorn Jongwilas in key supporting roles to date.

The film has earned strong audience approval, reflected in an 8.124/10 average from 342 votes, with many reviewers highlighting the lead performance and the film's observational tone. Themes include the squeeze of economic precarity, the ethics surrounding inheritance, familial obligation, and how intimacy is reshaped by dependency.

Beyond reviews, the film has prompted conversation about eldercare, intergenerational tension, and expectations placed on young adults in tight economies, particularly in its home market. The lead actor's nuanced portrayal attracted attention on social platforms, and several scenes sparked discussion about dignity, sacrifice, and the limits of familial duty today.

No widely reported box office totals are available; the film had a limited theatrical rollout and expanded its reach via streaming, so its commercial returns are modest even as audience awareness increased through reviews and word of mouth in time.
