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. #70sBollywood
