Plot
Prashanth is a popular singer who weds his fan Nirmala. Soon after, Prasanth's career falters just as Nirmala's singing career begins to thrive. Eventually, the couple is blessed with two kids Chintu and Bhavani. Therein, ego clashes arise between the duo, due to the popularity of Nirmala that overshaws Prashanth which leads to the talk of divorce and the kids become victims of it. During that plight, the children learn from their grandmother that all these sinister occurrences are because she forgot to accomplish several solemn vows at seven holy places Kanipakam, Tirumala, Bhadrachalam, Vijayawada, Srisailam, Shiridi and Sabarimala, respectively. Right now, the children decide to keep those promises to get their parents back together. The rest of the story is about how they succeed with the help of Gods.
