“There was still so much mystery and tension, and I found myself scoring more than I ever scored before in the show with all the new characters,” reveals Siddhartha Khosla. The Emmy-nominated composer returned for Season 3 of “Only Murders in the Building” to expand the sonic identity of Hulu’s comedic murder mystery. “On a show like this, we don’t have tons of time, so we get the cuts, score them, they’re in,” remarks Khosla, “And especially since the score is sort of baked into the identity of the show, the themes and the ideas have to be there sort of early on.” Watch the exclusive video interview above.
“I’m a singer songwriter before I was ever a composer for TV and film. So I think of everything like these little songs,” says Khosla of his approach to composing. He constructs a theme for each character, complete...

[Editor’s note: This story contains spoilers for the film and series “One Day,” both based on David Nicholls’ 2009 novel of the same name.]
If you went to see the 2011 film “One Day” in theaters, you may remember one thing and one thing only. That thing. In fact, as we type out this article, unsuspecting viewers all over the world are booting up Netflix’s superior adaptation and probably receiving the shock of a lifetime in Episode 11, refreshing the battery life on this harrowing plot twist for a whole new generation.
But Nicole Taylor’s new series has way more going for it than the film did, and a lasting power that includes compelling leads, inviting chemistry, and genuinely adept storytelling — none of which were present in the movie (that Anne Hathaway/Jim Sturgess misstep is currently rocking a 35 percent on Rotten Tomatoes).
In her review, IndieWire Senior TV Writer Proma Khosla noted, “‘One Day’ as a limited series leaves a much stronger impression than it ever could have as a film, minting [Ambika] Mod and [Leo] Woodall’s chemistry,...

[Editor’s note: The following article contains spoilers for the wider Marvel Cinematic Universe, plus “The Marvels” and its post-credits scene.]
It was a bad weekend at the box office — certainly not a “marvels-ous” one — as the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe, Nia DaCosta’s “The Marvels,” arrived in theaters and promptly walked away with a dismal $47 million domestic, $110 million worldwide opening, the worst opening for an MCU film ever. Also not helping: a B CinemaScore, which places the film in the bottom tier of MCU films by that metric as well (only two other MCU films have received that same grade: “Eternals” and “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania”).
It’s unfortunate that DaCosta’s film — directed by a woman of color, featuring a female-centric story with a “diverse” cast of superheroes, and finding its best beats in humor and heart — will become inextricably linked with the “fall” of the MCU, because this kind of box office bust has long seemed inevitable for the ailing franchise.

New Delhi, July 7 (Ians) Ace Indian-origin venture capitalist Vinod Khosla has said that he has no idea who will win the much-anticipated cage fight (also dubbed as the fight of the century) between Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Meta Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, but according to him, the more important fight will play out between Twitter and Threads.
When asked which social media mogul would win the cage fight, Khosla told Moneycontrol, “I don’t know about that, but the more important fight is between Threads and Twitter. I think that will be the determinant of the winner”.
According to him, whoever wins the showdown between Twitter and Threads will be the real winner of the Musk-Zuck fight. Moreover, when asked about if he had joined Threads or planned to quit Twitter, the venture capitalist said, “I’m not going to leave Twitter but I will probably join Threads...

New Delhi, April 3 (Ians) With Indian startups facing trying times amidst funding crunch and mass firings, ace Indian-origin venture capitalist Vinod Khosla says the ones with “strong fundamentals” will continue to be funded, though at lower valuations, a media report said.
“The wheat will get separated from the chaff,” Khosla told the BBC, adding that “not-so-good Indian start-ups” will go kaput this year, resulting in fewer but larger start-ups.
The Silicon Valley veteran said since these companies wouldn’t have to compete with smaller firms, they could end up using their capital more wisely.
Khosla’s comments come after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (Svb) — a bolt from the blue for Indian startups that had deposits worth about $1 billion with the embattled institution.
Khosla and ChatGPT developer OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman recently offered personal capital to help startups after Svb’s collapse.

New York, Oct 4 (Ians) Indian-Americans Vinod Khosla, Romesh Wadhwani and Rakesh Gangwal made it to the Forbes 2022 list of 400 wealthiest Americans with Zscaler CEO Jay Chaudhry leading the pack with a net worth of 8.2 billion.
Overall, Tesla’s Elon Musk earned the top spot for the first time, unseating former Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, who had held the top spot for four consecutive years.
As a group, the 400 wealthiest Americans are worth 4 trillion, 500 billion less than last year, Forbes noted.
Chaudhry, 63, who founded the cybersecurity firm Zscaler in 2008, is ranked 79. He and his family members own 42 per cent of the Nasdaq-listed firm which went public in March 2018.
Before Zscaler, Chaudhry had founded four other tech companies that were all acquired — SecureIT, CoreHarbor, CipherTrust, and AirDefense. In 1996, Chaudhry and his wife quit their jobs and used their life savings to launch SecureIT, their first startup.
Chaudhry had moved to the US in 1980 to attend graduate school.

Composer Siddhartha Khosla landed three Emmy nominations, this year, including one for original main title theme for “Only Murders in the Building.”
The catchy earworm, Khosla says, happened with ease. “I got on my piano, and just sang it over.”
The quirky, emotional tune is backed by Khosla’s humming and upside-down buckets, which are used as drums. Says Khosla, “That begins the piece, and they’re the driving momentum.”
The drummer is James McAlister, who plays with Sufjan Stevens and the National. “I called James and asked if it would be weird to put Home Depot buckets on this piece of music,” Khosla adds. “He went out and bought five buckets to create a drum set. He put microphones on top and it looked like he was a street musician.” The theme music was the perfect love letter to New York City. Barely running at under a minute, the...

First Doja Cat has a crush on Joseph Quinn, and now the British-born actor is detained by U.S. Immigration. Is there any unexpected headline Quinn can’t make?
During his July 25 appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” the “Stranger Things” actor revealed he was “held up” by immigration while entering New York. That is, until the immigration officers recognized him as Eddie Munson from the hit Netflix series.
“I very nearly didn’t make it,” Quinn explained on “The Tonight Show.” “I was taken into, I guess what you could call it more of a dungeon. And I was asked to wait there for about 20 minutes and then I was summoned to this desk where someone asked me, ‘What are you doing in the United States, sir?'”
Quinn continued, “I said, ‘I’m actually here to meet Jimmy Fallon on “The Tonight Show.”‘ And he didn’t believe me.

After her stunning Drama Actress victory in 2020, Zendaya returns to the Emmy Awards this year with triple the number of nominations (make that quadruple when her series bid as an executive producer gets finalized). In addition to her second nomination for acting in “Euphoria,” the multitalented star also nabbed two more in the Music and Lyrics category for penning the lyrics to “I’m Tired” and “Elliot’s Song.”
She faces off against a field that includes offerings from “Schmigadoon!,” “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” and “This Is Us.”
“Euphoria” won this race back in 2020 for “All For Us,” which was penned by Labrinth, That tune bested two compositions from “Little Fires Everywhere” by Ingrid Michaelson: “The Black Godfather” co-written by Pharrell Williams, and “Watchmen” by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.

This Is Us, NBC’s praised drama series, which previously had been Emmy-nominated four times for best drama series, received only one nomination Tuesday for its final season – for Original Music and Lyrics. Stars Mandy Moore and Chrissy Metz shared their thoughts on social media following today’s Emmy nominations announcement. Moore was considered a strong contender in the drama series acting category for her praised performance, particularly for her work in the penultimate episode.
“Do I wish our show was recognized in what I think was it’s finest hour? Sure,” Moore wrote on her Instagram story. “And Dan Fogelman’s brilliant writing for 6 seasons (hello The Train)? Ken Olin’s impeccable direction? Our insanely, wildly talented cast and crew? Yah…. But nothing can take away what our show meant to So Many (us included). That’s an incredible legacy to be a part of. I will be grateful forever.

Should every TV show be a musical?
Maybe, depending who you ask (Yasper from “The Afterparty” we suspect is strongly in favor). There’s no denying the power of musical numbers, scores, opening credits, or just the right needle drop to propel a television scene from enjoyable to legendary. Moments like this were so bountiful in 2022 that IndieWire decided to pick the best ones as we comb through the best of this TV year so far. Below, in order of premiere, are the most memorable musical moments from 2022 TV.
1. “Peacemaker”: Opening Credits
It’s been a wondrous year for opening credits, none more bizarre and perfect than “Peacemaker.” James Gunn’s “The Suicide Squad” spinoff had a tough job with its HBO Max debut, spotlighting one of the only white male characters from the 2021 film and making a case, somehow, for the floundering DC Extended Universe.
But “Peacemaker” did that and more,...

The television landscape is so sprawling and, especially these days, full of A-list actors. The rise of prestige television has given fans shows where some of our favorite movie stars are transitioning from the silver screen to the small screen. But that’s no reason to discount the up-and-coming actors that have made their mark with one specific performance.
We’re looking at eight performances that broke through the sheer abundance of TV and made us take notice. These actors didn’t just give great performances, but gave us characters who went into our hearts and transformed their respective shows into something special.
In no order, below are the 8 best breakthrough performances of 2022, so far:
1. Iman Vellani (“Ms. Marvel”)
Iman Vellani may have dressed up as Ms. Marvel for Halloween, but no amount of costumed shenanigans prepares an actor for the role of a lifetime — the role she was born to play.
