I think that film grain is usually done in After Effects- you can get effects filters that will do it. As for doing it in Premiere- I've seen some people suggest fiddling with the contrast for one to make footage look more 'filmy', but to get the flecks and lines and such like old actual film has you'd need either a plugin or probably to make a segment of 'damage' in Photoshop or the likes (with random lines, flecks, etc) against a solid background (like bright blue or green) and then import it and make the background transparent and overlay it over your footage (depending on how much footage you wanted to make look like film, though, this could get to be a -lot- of work if you want to keep it from being obvious your're re-using 'damage' frames).
Of course, I'm pulling most of this out of thin air, as I've never really tried this myself. If you've seen this effect used by someone in a video, by far your best bet is going to be to contact the creator directly- most people around here are fairly good about helping other creators out. Good luck!
