R. G. Vijayasarathy of Rediff.com scored the film at 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Yashas, who has acted earlier inàYuga Yugagale Saagali,àcomes out with a brilliant performance.àHe is definitely a talent to watch out for.àPrema, who returns to the film industry after a while, fills the role perfectly. The tallàSantosh is quite frightening in the film.àMeghana and the other artistes are impressive. Go and watchàShishira". B S Srivani fromàDeccan Herald wrote "Ajanish LokanathâÂÂs tunes have a part in this. Perhaps, this was what the director had intended. âÂÂShishiraâ is a slick film technically and story-wise as well. It doesn't scare people. Experience and patience will definitely help Manju". A critic fromàBangalore Mirror wrote à"You are hardly ever scared by the ghosts that appear. The quick narrative does not seem special in the absence of excitement. The film is a commendable effort and a decent watch but is short of being stimulating". A critic fromàSify.com wrote "Yashas has the looks and struggled hard to make it convincing. Prema in her come back is not impressive. The brilliant thing about the film is the Suresh Babu Camera work, special effects and Ajanish Lokanth two lovely tunes and the background score done for the film".
