I was using ubuntu 2d till now along with compiz. now i installed gnome-shell and after that compiz effects are not working. Is there any way to get compiz effects to work,else is there any other similar packages?

Compiz and gnome-shell do not go hand-in-hands together... Third heading in the link provides more insight about it: https://live.gnome.org/GNOME3Myths
Also the mailing list post about compiz and gnome-shell might be of interest for you:

So as far as I know, you can't get effects equivalent to those provided by compiz in gnome-shell... You might try to look for the gnome-shell extensions with similar functionality.

In terminal: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager and then run the program (ccsm) to edit compiz settings.

OK, you could also consider using gnome classic, same look and feel as in Lucid and with all the features of compiz (even the wobbly windows ;-))– TinellusJun 27, 2012 at 13:21
Have you attempted to type in compiz --replace
within the terminal? I had to do that for the Cinnamon shell, but I am not certain whether gnome uses metacity or compiz by default.
[edit]:
Or press ALT F2 to open up a command field and then type in compiz --replace
