Gemini Kaivannam ✨
This first one is my personal favourite. Always wanted to recreate this scene from Paayum Puli — one Rajni film I just can’t get over. The timid, shy underdog who learns martial arts and rises to bring down a gang. A reminder: never stop learning. 💪
For this, I used Gemini with a technique called meta prompting (kind of like reverse engineering prompts). I uploaded a reference pic, asked what prompt would recreate that style, and built from there. Swipe right to see the 4th & 5th pics for the reference.
Here is the prompt:
I have uploaded my picture keep this as reference and following in mind while creating new picture.
Create a retro, vintage-inspired image - grainy yet bright - based on the reference picture.
The boy is wearing a beige button-down shirt and black pants, standing indoors in a room with a wooden cabin feel.
The image has a slightly grainy texture and the saturated color palette typical of 80s Indian cinema.
He’s posing confidently with his hands on his hips, and the background shows blurred greenery outside the windows.
The lighting is natural and it comes from windows in the background.
2nd and 3rd pic was also generated using the gemini with a similar prompt but details differ.
The cherry on top? Insta auto-suggested my favourite Kamal film song for this. Couldn’t have asked for more. ❤️🎶
