Retro & 90s Bollywood prompts

Film grain, vintage cameras and old-school romance

Retro prompts recreate the look of 80s and 90s film photography: warm grain, faded colour, chiffon sarees in the rain, denim jackets, vintage cars and classroom portraits. Many are inspired by 90s Bollywood posters and song sequences, which is why they are shared so often on Instagram.

The prompts describe the film stock and lighting in detail, so you rarely need to add anything. If the image looks too clean, reply with "add more film grain and slight colour fade" and Gemini will age it further.
