Sentimental success

WITH due apologies to Karan Johar, the tagline for Pat Boonnitipat's How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies could well read, "It is all about learning to love your family.

Sentimental success

" Boonnitipat's directorial debut has been smashing box office records for a Thai film in Southeast Asia and has been comfortably lodged on the top ten charts since it dropped mid-September on Netflix Singapore. It has been minting millions in the region by making millions cry.

It's not tough to fathom the bittersweet film's universal appeal. The pain of the loss of a loved one is an experience every human is bound to face at some point in time. How to... is unique in how it turns death into a vital mode of creating a dialogue between generations, in the process reaching out to viewers across all age groups. M (Putthipong "Billkin" Assaratanakul), a university dropout, trying to make a mark in the world of gaming, decides to become the primary caregiver for his ailing grandmother Mengju (Usha "Taew" Seamkhum), down with the last stage of stomach cancer, in the hope of inheriting her estate.
