You will find yourself unearthing more layers to the title – ‘Cold Case’ – as the film proceeds. You have to wait till the end to decide which side makes a stronger case. The question that fuels the film is this: will this murder be solved in frigid forensic labs by an unemotional and practical cop, or does an unseen menace lurking in a bone-chilling paranormal zone have the answers? This tug-of-war creates a carefully crafted intensity. This theme binds the plot of the entire movie, stoking your curiosity as to which side will triumph, if either at all. Is our world driven by science and logic, or sentiments and spirits? You are drawn into the complex world of post-mortem evidence and investigative procedures that suggest an order to death, but only to wonder if science has all the answers minutes later. In scene after hauntingly-shot scene, debut filmmaker Tanu Balak pits our rational sense of order against a reality beyond the realms of science. A macabre, accidental discovery sets events in motion that have both cold logic and the paranormal vying with each other.
Medha (Aditi Balan), an investigative journalist with a fascination for ghost stories, and seasoned cop Sathyajith (Prithiviraj) are following the same murder case, but they take their own paths to solving the mystery. Set in the pristine backwaters of Kerala, the movie is a about a murder from a year ago, a determined cop who sets out to track the murderer and an investigator whose search for the killer is fed by paranormal clues. If supernatural thriller meets procedural crime dramas is your thing, ‘Cold Case’ – streaming now on Amazon Prime Video – is just right for you.
