Though his reviews were failed at fewer times but I feel he is still an average critic when it comes to giving ratings. Anyways, he is now very popular, thanks to Ajay Devgn and Karan Johar. Now, the major question was, Do he deserves to be paid 25 Lacks for promotion? I will say no, he has to learn a lot from other critics.
