What happens
How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies, known in Thai as Lahn Mah, is a 2024 Thai comedy drama film directed by Pat Boonnitipat (in his directorial debut) from a screenplay written by Pat and Thodsapon Thiptinnakorn. It stars Putthipong Assaratanakul and Usha Seamkhum in their debut feature film roles. In the film, M (Putthipong), a university dropout low on money, volunteers to take care of his terminally ill grandmother (Usha) in the hope of pocketing her inheritance. Development on the film began in 2020 after Thodsapon completed the first draft of the screenplay, which underwent several revisions after Pat was hired as director. Putthipong and Usha were hired soon after the screenplay was complete. Principal photography took place in Bangkok, with filming locations including Talat Phlu. Upon release, How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies went viral, spurred by a social media trend where viewers posted videos of themselves crying after watching the film. How to Make Money Before Grandma Dies was first released in Thailand on 4 April 2024, by GDH. It grossed an estimated $73.8 million worldwide, becoming the second highest domestic grossing Thai film of 2024, the highest worldwide grossing Thai-language film of all time, and broke box office records in several countries across Asia. It received praise from critics for its direction, screenplay, cast performances, music, and heavy emotional weight. The film was selected as Thailand's entry for Best International Feature Film at the 97th Academy Awards and became Thailand's first submission to advance to the 15-film shortlist, but was not nominated.
