Where To Watch Cold Case?
Cold Case is exclusively available to watch on Amazon Prime Video. The film was initially meant to have a theatrical release. But this plan was foiled due to the second wave of the COVID-19 Pandemic. And according to the film’s director, Tanu Balak, the experience between the theatrical and home release could have some significant differences. A theatrical release may enhance the overall quality of the viewing experience with appropriate surround sound. Nevertheless, seeing the situation, a home release was a much better option. An OTT release of the film helps to reach a wider reach of audience. And considering that “Cold Case” is a story not engulfed by regional norms, people from different backgrounds could watch without an issue. This could only be possible through an OTT Platform. In this case, it happens to be Amazon Prime Video.
I won't spell it out for you but the mystery is all yours. It's time to join the bandwagon and solve the #ColdCaseOnPrime.

Amazon Prime Video has been trying to expand its exclusive content library for some time now. Seeing that the COVID-19 Pandemic has led to the shutdowns of theatres, an opportunity has opened up for OTT Platforms. Films that are unable to have a theatrical release are resorting to selling the rights to stream their movies to OTT Platforms. A few of the international films include Tomorrow War (2nd July 2021). Cinderella (3rd September 2021), and My Name Is Pauli Murray (17th September 2021).
