Plot

The film begins in a village where Rajugaju is paterfamilias to an extended family. He has three sons, Sridhar, Murali and Hari, and a daughter, Meenakshi. The first two sons and the daughter settle in Delhi, Chennai, and Dubai respectively, while the youngest son, Hari, hangs back with his father. Rajugaru dotes on his granddaughter Bangari, a mischievous infant above all. She forms a profound bond with a rooster named Nani, treating it as her beloved companion. On the eve of the Poleramma festival, the whole family reunites after a long time, which fills Rajugaru with joy. As a glimpse, since childhood, Siddu Sridhar's son endears his cousin, Meenakshi's daughter, Madhu, and strives to propose to her. Additionally, Madhu's sibling Sanyasi Raju / Sunny jeers Bangari.

Once, they all visit their temple when unfortunate events occur, which they predict as inauspicious. Whereat, Rajugaru's wife, Annapurna, recollects their last visit. Siddu and Madhu struck at high risk when she vowed to ritual rooster's sacrifice, the same Nani that has which they forgot. The thought fuels each family member, blaming it as the cause of their problems, i.e., Sridhar is facing huge losses in his business. The childlessness perturbs Murali's couple, and Meenakshi's spouse, Prakash, gets warrants for being nonguilty. Thus, Rajugaru announces to accomplish the ritual at the upcoming festival. Here, as a flabbergast, Nani goes missing, which panics the family, and they make a long quest but in vain. Indeed, it has been concealed in the attic by Bangari as a shield.

Meanwhile, the love blossoms between Siddu and Madhu, knowing their parent's conflict and rifts arise in the family; Sunny discerns Nani's whereabouts and hounds Bangari with threats. Step by step, the entire family is conscious of the secret, excluding Rajugaru, but it quiets Bangari because she has comforted everyone. During the festival, Rajugaru backs up since he cannot fulfill his word. However, via Sunny, he is cognizant of the Bangaram's game and carries Nani to the festival. At that juncture, the family pleaded pardon from him. Startlingly, Rajugaru bars the execution of slaughtering and frees Nani by seeking an apology from the goddesses for Bangari. Ergo, all the hardships resolve: Sridhar's business flourishes, Murali's wife Suguna conceives, Prakash proves innocent, and elders decide to betroth Siddu and Madhu after they grow up. At last, Rajugaru's progeny moves to their hometown and agrees to meet at the next festival when Sunny also bows down to Bangari's humanity. Finally, the movie ends happily with a proclamation: If you walk in the right path, All will be well.
