An advertisement promoted it as, "another extraordinary Telugu talkie for the Andhra region, surpassing even the grandness of Paduka Patabhisheka."[5] Notably, Sakuntala marked the beginning of comedic roles in Telugu cinema. It features fishermen who catch a fish that has swallowed Sakuntala's ring, leading to humorous interactions.[7]
