Chandrasekharan as the 'kattiyakaran' and Jaya Chandrasekhar and Shantha Dhananjayan as the 'nartakis', perform the introduction to the drama. The heroine, Rajamohini, (played by Sudharani Raghupathy) is in love with Subramaniam, a minister in the Pudukkotai court. Her friend, Suradavalli, (played by Chitra Visweswaran) receives her friend's confidences, and decides to call Viralimalai Kuravanji, to fortell Rajamohini's future. 'Malai kuravanji vandaaliah' in ragam, Behag, heralds the entry of the 'korathi', Padma Subramaniam. She breezes in, full of mischief, and exuberance, totally at ease in her role, and enjoying every moment of it. The soothsayer speaks most eloquently of herself, and her abilities. 'I can make a crow and a lion drink water together...I can turn a crow white...' It certainly made for entertaining viewing. The bickering between the sakhi and the kuravanji also provided many laughs. The kuravanji is bribed with food and jewelry, and is finally persuaded to read Rajamohini's palm. 'Ninaithal yellam pazhikum' is her reply; 'Everything you wish for will come true'. As for the sakhi who belittles her, the kuravanji forsees her married to an old man, with ten children to boot. This was done in a tongue- in- cheek fashion with a straight face, and was uproarious. For nothing is Padma hailed as the queen of mime and humour in dance. Nowhere else can you get to see humour without dilution of the art at the same time. The three ladies did full justice to their roles, in the nritta, and in the abhinaya portions. Entertainment at it's best.

Dhananjayan, as 'kuravan singan', Padma's husband, is awaiting her arrival anxiously. Hungry and worried he calls out, 'Singiye kaannene yen bangara singiye kaannene'. She finally arrives, relates her adventures, and shows off her booty to her admiring husband. Thus ended the entertaining story of Viralimalai kuravanji.

The supporting orchestra was of high caliber that day, except for some periods of uncertainty. The nattuvanars were very good: Gayathri Kannan, Priya Murle, Rajesh Bala, and Vijay Madavan. The vocalists were, Gayathri Kannan, Visweswaran, and B.Kannan. Veena was by B.Kannan, violin by T.S.Babu, flute L.T.Venkatesan, mridangam by Anirudha and ghatadhwani by Parthasarathy.
