What is How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies about?
M (Putthipong “Billkin” Assaratanakul) sets aside his hopes of becoming a game caster to care for his terminally ill grandmother, Amah (Usha Seamkhum). At first, his motive is practical: he hopes to win her favor and inherit her home. But he is not the only relative with an eye on the family fortune, and the daily work of caring for Amah complicates the arrangement. Netflix’s official announcement frames the story around that tension between care and inheritance.

The film’s central question is not simply who gets what. It is whether a relationship that begins as a transaction can become genuine through time spent together, and who in a family is noticed or rewarded for providing care. Pat Boonnitipat directed and co-wrote the film with Thodsapon Thiptinnakorn. Netflix says Thiptinnakorn drew on personal experiences for the story.
Is it worth watching?
Yes, if you want a family drama that balances affection and humor with a deliberately emotional story. Billkin gives M room to change without making his initial self-interest disappear, while Usha Seamkhun makes Amah more than a passive recipient of care: she is demanding, and the family has to reckon with her choices as well as its own expectations.

#1 Best Overall
The film’s most distinctive subject is the overlap between inheritance and caregiving. As The Guardian’s Peter Bradshaw observed in his 24 December 2024 review, “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.” That is a useful guide to its approach: the movie can be frank about steering viewers toward sadness, but its family and money tensions give the emotion a subject beyond grief alone.
That directness will work better for some viewers than others. If you prefer restrained dramas that let silence carry most of the feeling, the music and emotional signals may seem too insistent. If you are open to a sentimental tearjerker with a family-conflict thread, its warmth and cast are strong reasons to watch.
