The prompt

A vintage 1970s Bollywood masala film poster featuring [couple photo] rendered as an illustrated movie poster. The man wears a wide-collar disco shirt and bell-bottom trousers in mustard yellow; the woman wears a vibrant magenta chiffon saree with silver border. They pose dramatically against a split-background of deep teal and crimson. Bold hand-lettered Hindi-style title text arcs across the top in chrome and gold. Dramatic spotlighting, airbrushed skin tones, slightly grainy print texture. Villainous silhouettes visible in the background. Style: classic Indian film poster painting from the 1970s, high saturation, retro poster illustration, aged offset print.

Why it goes viral: Couples tagging each other in their 'Bollywood movie' version is one of the highest-engagement Instagram formats — this prompt delivers cinematic drama instantly.

How to use it

Upload your couple photo to Ideogram as the style/subject reference.
Paste the prompt, replacing [couple photo] with a description of how your couple is dressed or posed.
Select the Poster aspect ratio (2:3) and Illustration style in Ideogram settings.
Regenerate 2–3 times and pick the version with the most accurate likeness and dramatic composition.
Add a fake film production credit line in Canva using a retro serif font to complete the poster look.

Pro tips

Ideogram handles text well — include a specific fake movie title in your prompt (e.g. 'Pyaar Ka Toofan') for authentic typographic results.
Use Ideogram's 'Poster' style preset alongside this prompt for the strongest layout composition.
Upload a couple photo where both faces are clearly visible and not obscured — Ideogram needs clear facial features to preserve likeness.
Add 'CBFC certification box in bottom corner' to get an authentic period-accurate detail that fans will love.
Keep the background simple in the source photo; Ideogram will replace it with the dramatic split-color backdrop.
