She achieved mainstream recognition in the mid-1950s with the romantic comedy *Missamma* (1955) and the drama *Donga Ramudu* (1955). Over the 1950s and 1960s, she established herself as a prominent leading actress, starring in the comedy *Gundamma Katha* (1962), the mythological film *Sri Krishna Tulabharam* (1966), and the drama *Mooga Manasulu* (1964). Jamuna also worked in Hindi cinema, winning the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress for the romantic drama *Milan* (1967).
