How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies, known in Thai as Lahn Mah,[a] is a 2024 Thai comedy drama film directed by Pat Boonnitipat and 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 an 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 Millions Before Grandma Dies was released in Thailand on April 4, 2024, by GDH. It has grossed an estimated $78.3 million worldwide, becoming the second highest-grossing Thai film of 2024 and twelfth-highest grossing domestic film of all time, and also broke box office records in several countries across Asia. It received praise from critics for its direction, screenplay, acting 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 ever to advance to the 15-film shortlist.[1]

Plot

Mengju and her adult children Sew, Kiang, and Soei celebrate the Qingming Festival with Sew's son, M, a university dropout and aspiring video game streamer. She tells her family she wants to be buried on a big plot when she dies, which costs millions to purchase. After receiving hospital treatment for a fall, Mengju is diagnosed with late-stage stomach cancer; her family decides to keep the diagnosis hidden from her. After M's wealthy paternal grandfather dies, most of his estate is left to his primary carer, Mui, M's cousin and an online sex worker. M then volunteers to become Mengju's carer, hoping to inherit her estate.

Before moving in, M lists Mengju's Talat Phlu house for sale. He initially struggles to curry favour with her, finding her demanding and unfiltered, and questions the morality of his decision but is convinced by Mui to continue. M tells Mengju of her diagnosis, and she begins to become more receptive to his care. M also assumes Mengju's job as a street congee vendor. During a weekly family gathering (which Kiang's wife, Pinn, their daughter, Rainbow, and M attend for the first time), Mengju tells her family that M informed of her cancer. All of Mengju's children suddenly suggest methods to help care for her, which raises M's suspicions about their motives. Afterward, M increases his efforts as her primary carer.

Kiang, a wealthy stockbroker, arranges for Mengju to live with him and his family. Kiang offers to pay M to care for Mengju, but he declines the money. Mengju and the rest travel to the Golden Mount at Wat Saket. By reading their prayer cards, M finds that Mengju has prayed for her entire family and that Kiang and his family have only prayed for themselves; M is the only one who prayed for Mengju, for her to "win the lottery". Mengju declines to move in with Kiang, and she grows closer to M.

Mengju finds out Soei stole ฿200,000 hidden in her kitchen to help cover his ฿1 million gambling debt. After confronting Soei, M gives him a pure silver belt he inherited from his paternal grandfather to help him pay off his debt. M lies about meeting Soei, telling Mengju that Soei is "out of town on work". After the doorbell rings, Mengju assumes Soei's creditors have found her house: she instructs M to hide and answers the door. It is instead a respondent to M's sale listing of Mengju's house, whom she turns away.

Mengju takes M to meet her brother, who inherited millions upon the passing of their parents, and asks for money to purchase the plot. Her brother refuses and it is revealed that Mengju was their parents' carer until they died. Mengju tells M she wants a large burial plot, hoping it will bring her family together as they visit her gravesite. After Mengju's doctors tell M that continuing treatment would be futile, he lies to her and says she will instead receive treatment "based on her symptoms". Kiang asks Sew for the deed to Mengju's house, but she gives it to Soei, per Mengju's wishes. M angrily reacts to this and moves back home.

M learns that Sew, unlike him or Sew's siblings, did not want anything in exchange for caring for Mengju. Mui offers M half of her expected inheritance if he helps care for her dying aunt, but he refuses. Soei sells Mengju's house, fully covering his debts, and moves Mengju to a nursing home. He attempts to repay M, who refuses. M moves Mengju into his home. He also insults Soei and Kiang for their selfishness. After Mengju dies, M receives a call from a bank, which tells him that Mengju put aside money in his name since he was a child after he said he wanted to "buy her a new house". M empties the account and uses the money to buy a big plot for her burial, which everyone attends.

Production

Development

GDH films (including those produced by its wholly owned subsidiary production company Jor Kwang Films) are typically developed by its producers or directors. However, How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies was the first GDH film to be initiated by Thodsapon Thiptinnakorn, a full-time screenwriter at GDH since 2009. In December 2020, he pitched the project with a ten-page synopsis inspired by his experiences caring for his grandmother during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the fallout from her not giving her daughter or caregivers any inheritance upon her death.[2] Producers Vanridee Pongsittisak and Jira Maligool worked with Thodsapon to make an "accessible and entertaining" screenplay compared to the initial treatment, creating a slapstick comedy featuring a grandmother and grandchild.[3]

Pat Boonnitipat (pictured in 2018) wrote and directed the film in his directorial debut.

According to Vanridee, this version of the film, which was titled The Chinese Family, was deemed to have "lost [the] original charm" of Thodsapon's treatment. As such, after Sino-Thai director Pat Boonnitipat was hired, he worked with Thodsapon to adopt a more emotionally-driven narrative. Pat had previously worked with GDH on Project S: The Series (2017–2018) and Bad Genius: The Series (2020).[2] He incorporated elements from his own life to develop the final screenplay: his maternal grandmother, who helped raise him and with whom he still lives, was diagnosed with late-stage breast cancer in 2004.[4] Pat and Thodsapon worked on the screenplay for two years, which evolved to include other characters beyond the grandmother and grandson.[5] Pat later stated it took him eight months to learn how to write for film compared to television; How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies is his feature film debut.[6]

Pat stated that his grandmother directly opined on the screenplay after he moved back in with her when writing,[7][3] while the other characters were based on his Cantonese mother’s family, describing the representation in the film is as “exactly the same [as my own family], even the dialogue".[8] The writers revised the screenplay to include themes on contemporary Thai family dynamics,[9] specifically related to western and Asian attitudes regarding extended and nuclear families.[7] Benediktus Yogatama of Kompas argued the film also contained several themes related to financial planning and personal budgeting.[10] Hollywood Insider's Jake Yancey stated How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies explores gender roles, generational divides and similarities, aging, and the Thai-Chinese cultural experience.[11]

Casting

Putthipong "Billkin" Assaratanakul (pictured in 2024) was cast in his debut lead film role.

Putthipong "Billkin" Assaratanakul was cast in his debut lead film role, alongside acting debutante Usha "Taew" Seamkhum.[12] Putthipong was the producers' first choice but Pat disliked his initial audition: Putthipong was hired following a second audition, after taking a long break from acting to attend acting classes.[2] Pat immediately wanted to hire the 78-year-old Usha after her audition, with his assistant director discovering her through a modelling agency Usha was signed to after taking part in a video for a seniors dance competition in 2019.[13][3] Speaking on hiring Usha, Pat stated "I wanted the [film's] acting to be natural [and] ideal way to be natural is to find someone who has never acted. [Usha] didn’t have any pre-concept of acting. She just believed in the story. She became an actor. It’s her gift and it’s very charming".[14]

Usha was ultimately hired after a recast with Putthipong, with the producers wanting a first-time actor for the role.[2] Putthipong said that the film required "detailed and focused acting" compared to his appearances in the television series My Ambulance (2019) and I Told Sunset About You (2021): he had to lose weight and alter his natural walk and speech patterns to portray his character in the film. Putthipong also claimed to have declined numerous other film and television projects until How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies.[15] In an interview with The Review Geek on August 2024, Pat said he catered the screenplay and the character to fit Putthipong.[6] This included using a year's worth of acting workshops in place of standard rehearsals between Pat and Putthipong prior to filming.[16] The remaining cast was then rounded out, which included the feature film debut for Tontawan "Tu" Tantivejakul.[17]

Filming

Principal photography primarily took place in Talat Phlu, a traditional Chinese community recognized as one of Bangkok's Chinatowns.[18] Filming locations included the Talat Phlu Market and Wat Chantharam Worawihan,[19] both of which became popular visiting locations among fans following the film's release.[20] According to Putthipong, filming lasted for 25 days and was primarily done using a single-camera setup.[15] Boonyanuch Kraithong, the director of photography for How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies, used narrow apertures and wide shots to add depth and emphasize the characters' surroundings, constrating contemporary films that use a shallow focus. Pat also instructed to use blocking to achieve this effect, which was inspired by filmmaking techniques present in Thai films from the 1950s until the 1970s.[7]

Pat sought to differentiate the style of How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies to the faster-paced television series he previously worked on, which included reducing the use of music. In a July 2024 interview with Lifestyle Asia, Pat said the filming choices worried GDH executives, who considered them to be too unconventional.[7] Pat aimed to make the film as quick as possible to make sure his maternal grandmother could watch it and for him to return to helping out at his family’s mirror and glass-making business.[3] He also used the reaction of the film's crew to assess its scenes, saying, "the first camera assistant [is] a very cool guy and while he was doing the focus pulling on set, he cried so much [filming a scene] that he couldn't keep his hand on the wheel. That's when I knew [a] scene [would] work so well, because it broke his [emotional] wall".[13]

To accommodate for Usha's age, the crew implemented regular breaks during shooting to allow her to rest. According to Pat, scenes which featured Usha walking or talking with Putthipong took the most takes to complete, owing to her inexperience in acting and Pat's strict blocking requirements.[7] Pat also stated that most of the scenes were filmed without prior rehearsal.[21] According to Jake Yancey of Hollywood Insider, How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies uses strict opposing colors for its characters and settings to reinforce the film's themes of generational and emotional difference.[11] Pat refused to show the film's designers references to create its indoor sets and instructed them to solely use the screenplay as inspiration: the designer subsequently designed the indoor set depicting Mengju's home as a replica of his mother's.[22]

Music

Jaithep Raroengjai was hired to compose the film's score and the soundtrack album was released digitally by GMM Music, the parent company of GDH, on September 17, 2024. It includes seven songs featured in or inspired by the film, including its theme song "Ever-Forever" performed by Putthipong, and a cover of the Chinese traditional folk song "Aum Kim Kong" performed by Usha.[23] In a June 2024 interview with Magdalene, Raroengjai said the music was composed to be "natural" to make How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies "feel real, raw, and close to the audience".[24]

Marketing

How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies saw increased worldwide popularity after videos of staff at SM Supermalls theatres in Manila handing tissues to viewers prior to screening the film went viral.[25] Its virality was boosted on social media after users took part in a trend of posting videos of themselves crying from watching the film.[8][26] Indonesian production company Falcon Pictures hosted the press conferences with Pat in Jakarta between May 25 and May 27 in response to the film's initial success.[27][10] After its success in Singapore, Usha and Pat attended a ticketed fan event hosted by Golden Village in Suntec City on June 24, 2024. The event featured a screening of How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies and a meet-and-greet,[28] and sold out almost immediately. A second event was added and took place later that same day.[29]
