‘Definition Please’ Is Redefining South Asian Representation

CULTURE

by Maria Diment

Sujata Day’s debut feature film, Definition Please, follows former spelling bee champion Monica Chowdry (played by Day) as she struggles to find focus in her life and navigates family relationships. This film tackles themes of the model minority myth, grief and mental health– all of which come together in an accurate depiction of the modern first-generation South Asian household.
