Puzzle will be released in theaters on July 13 in New York and Los Angeles with additional cities to follow.

The list of actors transitioning from Indian cinema to Hollywood is short and far from definitive, but Irrfan Khan is certainly one piece of the crossover puzzle. The Jaipur-born actor who made his name in Bollywood films such as “Mujhse Dosti Karoge” and “Paan Singh Tomar” now adds to his Hollywood filmography (“The Amazing Spider-Man” and “Life of Pi”) with “Puzzle,” the U.S. remake of an Argentine hit of the same name.

Puzzle a closely observed portrait of Agnes, who has reached her early 40s without ever venturing far from home, family or the tight-knit immigrant community in which she was raised by her widowed father. That begins to change in a quietly dramatic fashion when Agnes receives a jigsaw puzzle as a birthday gift and experiences the heady thrill of not only doing something she enjoys, but being very, very good at it.

Both characters were made for each other, and Khan (along with Kelly Macdonald as Agnes) are up to the task. It isn’t hard to become invested in how Agnes and Robert become intricately tied together, with each character faced with immense risks and tall challenges as they decide what’s best for them.
