Mitr, My Friend is a 2002 Indian English-language drama film directed by Revathi in her directorial debut, and written by V. Priya and Sudha Kongara.

[3] Revathi received the "Special Jury Award: Silver Peacock" at the 33rd International Film Festival of India.

[5] The film opens with a typical South Indian wedding being performed between Lakshmi (Shobhana) and Prithvi (Naseer Abdullah).

Lakshmi is a typical South Indian girl from Chidambaram, Tamil Nadu; Prithvi is a software engineer working in California.

Amid this storm, Lakshmi seeks a shoulder in an internet chat room, where she meets a "mitr" (Sanskrit: friend), with whom she is gradually able to share her thoughts and feelings.

Lakshmi digests this and begins to explore her own interests in carpentry, dance, and hairstyling; she thereby establishes a new identity and personality for herself.

Divya realizes that she cannot cope with the vagaries and lack of commitment inherent in relationships with non-Indian people; she regrets her previous decisions and decides to return home.

Mother and daughter spend some quality time and bond over Lakshmi's narration of nostalgic stories about her arrival to a new life in the USA.

The film builds to its climax when she asks, at Divya's urging, "mitr" to meet in person at the Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco.
