Dosti... Yaariyan... Manmarziyan's opening scenes were filmed in Rishikesh; other scenes were filmed in Mumbai. [12] [13] Due to low ratings, the series was cancelled within four months of its premiere. [14]
According to a Times of India review, "Manmarziyan have created characters which are real and relatable to the youth today." [15] The Indian Express gave the series two-and-a-half stars: "What struck us was the freshness of the show. Monica Sehgal leaves quite an impression, whereas veteran Kashmira Irani who makes a comeback on television after seven years still knows how to make an impact on-screen. The show also scores some brownie points by exploiting the unmatched beauty of real locations." [16]
