  -(void)play{
    NSString *urlStr = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"3idiots.mov" ofType:nil];
    NSURL    *url    = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:urlStr];
    moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];
    [self.view addSubview:moviePlayer.view];
    moviePlayer.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 1024, 768);  
    [moviePlayer play];
  }

You should call this notification:

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(doneButtonClicked) name:MPMoviePlayerWillExitFullscreenNotification object:nil];

Try this(I did this for IPad):

self.player = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(doneButtonClicked) name:MPMoviePlayerWillExitFullscreenNotification object:nil];

self.player.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 1024, 748);
[self.view addSubview:self.player.view];
[self.player setFullscreen:YES animated:YES];
[self.player play];

and when done button clicked:

-(void)doneButtonClicked
{
    [self.player stop];
    [self.player.view removeFromSuperview];
    [self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];//no need this if you are opening the player in same screen;
}

I think you are opening the moviePlayer in the same screen. I am opening in the different screen. If you opened it in the same screen, remove this statement from (void)doneButtonClicked method: "[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES]; " Check the code I edited now – alishaik786 Aug 16 '12 at 06:34
