Nativity! is a British comedy directed by Debbie Isitt and released on 27 November 2009. The film stars Martin Freeman and Ashley Jensen. The film is written by its director, Debbie Isitt, but is also partially improvised.[3] The film premiered on 23 November 2009 in the SkyDome Arena, Coventry, England.[4] It was released in cinemas on 27 November three weeks after rival festive film Disney's A Christmas Carol opened.
A sequel Nativity 2: Danger in the Manger was released in November 2012, and director Debbie Isitt has confirmed a third film, with filming starting in November 2013 and was released in November 2014[5] Suggestions were that the film is very similar to Daddy Day Care.

Plot[edit]
Paul Maddens (Martin Freeman) is a "frustrated, under-achieving primary school teacher"[1] who once had ambitions of being successful as an actor, producer or director. Every year St. Bernadette's Catholic school in Coventry, where he teaches, competes with a local Protestant private school (Oakmoor) to see who can produce the best nativity play. Maddens hates Christmas because his ex-girlfriend Jennifer Lore (Ashley Jensen), who attended drama school with him, left him at Christmas before he could propose to her. Despite this, the St. Bernadette's headteacher Mrs Bevans (Pam Ferris) tasks him with running their nativity play this year, and gives him a new class teaching assistant called Mr Poppy (Marc Wootton), who turns out to be as much of a child as the rest of Mr Maddens's class.
Like every year, it is one of Maddens's other friends from drama school, Gordon Shakespeare (Jason Watkins), who runs the nativity plays at rival school Oakmoor. Determined not to be seen as a failure by his old rival, Maddens lies to Shakespeare about how a Hollywood producer—their old friend Jennifer—will be turning his production into a Hollywood film, though he hasn't even spoken to her in five years. Mr Poppy accidentally overhears this and is so excited that he has to spread the rumour. Soon Maddens finds his lie is out of control, and all he can do is go along with it as media attention mounts and the children get more and more excited.
Unfortunately, the St. Bernadette's children don't seem to be anywhere near as talented as Shakespeare's Oakmoor class, and Maddens finds it difficult to have confidence in their abilities. However, enthusiastic and childlike Mr Poppy helps him and the class to create an energetic, interesting nativity which showcases all of the children's unique—and often strange—talents. Meanwhile, Maddens tries to find a way to contact Jennifer to make the lie come true, even travelling to America to try to persuade Jennifer to visit. However, it turns out that she is only a secretary, not a film producer, and returns home disappointed.
Finally, amidst continuing media attention and the Mayor's kind offer to allow the play to be performed in Coventry Cathedral, Mrs Bevans discovers that the Hollywood story was a lie and cancels the play, advising Mr Maddens to start looking for another job. Resigned, Maddens shouts at Mr Poppy and blames him for many things that have gone wrong, but comes to his senses when facing his disappointed class and decides that the show must go on.
The play is performed at the cathedral to an audience of the children's parents and family friends, but there is no sign of any Hollywood producers, despite how good the play has turned out to be—and the fact that Mrs Bevans was initially furious to hear that her order had been ignored. Halfway through, jealous Gordon Shakespeare climbs on-stage to tell everybody that there is nobody from Hollywood there and the entire thing was a lie. Luckily, a helicopter flies over and Mr Poppy declares that it's Hollywood come to see the play—the show continues, and Jennifer and her film producer boss finally come in at the back to watch the end, joined by Mr Maddens, who is still in love with Jennifer and kisses her.
The play is a success, and everyone, including Shakespeare, is reunited onstage to celebrate the children's success. As the film closes, Mr Maddens and Jennifer are shown decorating his house together for Christmas, reunited at last.

So the relatives decide to kill him, while Manu decides to go and meet Alexander and power of attorney from him so that he can get all Verma's wealth, and then kill him or get rid of Alexander. But to their surprise, Alexander is in mental rehabilitation center under the treatment of Dr. Korah (Nedumudi Venu). Eventually, over time, Manu realizes that his brother has unique abilities, which he grows to accept. He starts becoming fond of his half-brother.

Synopsis[edit]
Saikumar plays the role of Prathapa Verma, a rich man in Dubai who has a son Manu (Bala) but also has an adulterous relation with a lady in Mumbai, Janet, with whom he has another son named Alexander (Mohanlal). In his will, he has bequeathed all his wealth to his son Alexander. If Alexander dies, then 40% of Prathapa Verma's wealth will go to his relatives (Siddique, K. B. Ganesh Kumar, etc.) and 30% goes to Manu, and 30% to a trust. If Manu dies, then 100% will go to the trust. So the relatives decide to kill him, while Manu decides to go and meet Alexander and power of attorney from him so that he can get all Verma's wealth, and then kill him or get rid of Alexander. But to their surprise, Alexander is in mental rehabilitation center under the treatment of Dr. Korah (Nedumudi Venu). Eventually, over time, Manu realizes that his brother has unique abilities, which he grows to accept. He starts becoming fond of his half-brother. The story then progresses to show how Manu brings Alexander to Dubai. After reaching Dubai, the struggles that Alexander faces form the rest of the story.
