Even after Dosti's box office failure, as he had with his previous works, Darshan refused to sell
the film's television rights.[8] The collective value of his films' unsold satellite rights was
estimated to be ₹150 crore.[8] Darshan finally sold the rights to his films to Zee in 2017, and Dosti
premiered on Zee Cinema on 23 September 2017, 12 years after its theatrical release.[9] The
film's premier garnered high ratings for the network.[10]
