What if we 'hollywoodize' Indian film promos?

Have you ever seen the grandeur created around hollywood film promos? You must've seen it but never given much thought to it. Something like the movie starts with good slick, racy, cuts and previews until the voice over comes that brings the promos to the climax:

"From Academy Award winner Michael Mann comes this year's most awaited thriller... starring 3time Golden Globe Winner Jammie Fox, 2 times Academy Award winner & 4 times Golden Globe nominated..Tom Cruise..... (and so on..) Have u noticed how the background score goes to a cresendo as the names get rattled alongwith the "academy award" stuff...A nallah sa movie also becomes 'A' grade once names get highlighted with the award stuff lines. Imagine if we 'hollywoodize' Indian promos on the same lines...lately the Indian promos are catching up with the sleek and racy packaging, but what's missing is this:

(background score: thann-thannnthannnndh) " From 3 Filmfare & Zee Cine awards winner director Karan Johar comes this year's most awaited film..Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna...starring 10 Filmfare, 15 Zee Cine Awards, 9 Sony screen award, 55 I Me Myself Award winner Sharukh Khan, 4 Filmfare award winner & Zee Award nominated Preity Zinta, Filmfare Life time Achievement winner Amitabh Bachhan....

What say u guys?
