Synopsis
'M' is a young whiner and lazy person who makes a living streaming on social media. When he discovers that his grandmother Amah is suffering from a terminal illness, he leaves his precarious career as a streamer to take care of her, but he is very focused on the multimillion-dollar inheritance she has. However, winning over his grandmother is not easy, as she has a complicated character that makes her very strict and demanding. Additionally, 'M' is not the only heir with this dual intention, so he will have to bring out his best weapons to win his grandmother's heart and become a young millionaire thanks to the inheritance. As the days go by, 'M' gradually forgets his interest in claiming Amah's wealth and begins to see that taking care of her is the perfect opportunity to reconnect with his grandmother and make her happier in her final moments of life.
This touching film is directed by Pat Boonnitipat, who makes his directorial debut with this film also written by him alongside Thodsapon Thiptinnakorn. This Thai drama stars singer and actor Putthipong Assaratanakul ('I Told Sunset About You') in the role of 'M' and Usha Seamkhum, who makes her film debut as grandmother Amah.

What "How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies" lacks in subtlety, it more than compensates for in its range of feeling and the surprising depth of its feel-good reassurances.
Read - 8.0 Screen DailyLee Marshall
It is a sentimental journey to redemption but one that Boonnitipat grounds in understanding and empathy.
Read - 6.0 The GuardianPeter Bradshaw
This is a tear-jerker that does not shrink from using plangent piano chords on the soundtrack to tell you when to feel sad, but it also has something interesting to say about intergenerational wealth.
