‘Veera’ to grow 10.30 pm slot for Star Plus by 30%: Ormax study
Mumbai: ‘Veera‘ is set to grow the 10.30 pm slot for Star Plus by at least 30 per cent in its first week of airing, Ormax said in its new forecast.
‘Veera‘ is replacing Star Plus‘ long running show ‘Pratigya‘ on 29 October. Pratigya was rating 2-2.5 TVR for the past few weeks.
Ormax Media CEO Shailesh Kapoor said, “Veera has broken the Showbuzz record of being the most recalled new program on Star Plus two weeks before its launch. It should rate around 3 TVR in its first week.”
Ormax Media‘s TV Track, a syndicated study based on Day After Recall (DAR) of TV channel and program viewing, showed that the premiere of Rowdy Rathore on (Sony Entertainment Television) dominated Sunday‘s TV viewing on 21 October.
Ormax TV Track covers respondents in the 15-44 years age group in SEC ABC, across 17 cities in India. According to Ormax, the top five viewed programs on Sunday were Rowdy Rathore (Set), Cocktail (Colors), Bigg Boss (Colors), Crime Patrol (Sony) and Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah (Sab).
Ormax Media CEO Shailesh Kapoor said, “TV Track is conducted amongst regular TV viewers across the week. Rowdy Rathore‘s excellent performance was expected given the film‘s immense mass appeal.”

G-Shock launches GA-2100CM series with camouflage design
New sand and grey variants priced at Rs 10,995 each in India.
MUMBAI: Time just got a little more tactical and a lot more stylish. G-Shock has unveiled the GA-2100CM series, a fresh update to its popular GA-2100 line, bringing a camouflage twist to one of its most recognisable silhouettes. For the first time in the 2100 series, the watches feature G-Shock’s original camouflage pattern, subtly embedding the brand’s signature ‘G’ motif into the design. The move signals a shift towards more design-led storytelling, blending rugged functionality with fashion-forward detailing.
The new series introduces two colour variants sand (GA-2100CM-5A) and grey (GA-2100CM-8A) extending the model’s appeal across both streetwear and outdoor-inspired aesthetics. Built around the brand’s signature octagonal bezel and hybrid analogue-digital display, the watches retain a clean, modern look while adding layered visual depth.
Under the hood, the GA-2100CM continues to lean on performance. It features the Carbon Core Guard structure for durability, while maintaining a slim, lightweight profile suited for everyday wear. Functional elements include world time across 31 time zones, a 1/100-second stopwatch, countdown timer, LED light and 200-metre water resistance.
In line with evolving material choices, select components use bio-based resin, pointing to a gradual shift towards more sustainable design without compromising on toughness.
Priced at Rs 10,995, the GA-2100CM series is available across Casio India stores and online platforms.
As watch brands continue to balance utility with identity, G-Shock’s latest drop makes its intent clear, durability may be the legacy, but design is the new frontier.
