==Reception==
== Reception ==
The film got mostly positive reviews from the media.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://movies.rediff.com/review/2009/dec/24/south-review-shishira.htm|title = Review: Go watch Shishira}}</ref> The director has been able to extract a fine performance from new face Yashas and has been greatly helped by the special effects team. The background score of the 'then, first-time music director' [[B Ajaneesh Loknath|B. Ajaneesh Loknath]] (but presently one of the finest music directors of sandalwood) and camerawork of Suresh Babu helps the director handle the subject well. Actress Meghna too came up with a good performance. Prema, who returns to the film industry after a while, suits the role perfectly. The tall villain Santosh is quite frightening in the film.
=== Critical response ===
 
[[R. G. Vijayasarathy]] of ''[[Rediff.com]]'' scored the film at 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Yashas, who has acted earlier in Yuga Yugagale Saagali, comes out with a brilliant performance. He is definitely a talent to watch out for. Prema, who returns to the film industry after a while, fills the role perfectly. The tall Santosh is quite frightening in the film. Meghana and the other artistes are impressive. Go and watch Shishira".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rediff.com/movies/review/south-review-shishira/20091224.htm|title=Review: Go watch Shishira|work=[[Rediff.com]]|date=24 December 2009}}</ref> B S Srivani from [[Deccan Herald]] wrote "Ajanish Lokanath’s tunes have a part in this.
