As far as we are family goes, it was surprising that it moved to star, so utv may have directly sold it to sony for the first cycle. Because rights of other movies in the preceding year like wake up sid, kurbaan, i hate love stories were with utv only who had sold to different broadcasters like viacom and star. I definitely remember sony got rowdy rathore, emaet, tnlh, gippi from utv , sneha rajani had tweeted same. As far as student of the year and yeh jawaani hai deewani goes, sony had acquired it directly from dharma productions. Post that deal dharma signed an exclusive deal with viacom. Zee had acquired agneepath directly from dharma, like sony had acquired talaash probably from aamir khan or reliance(dont think excel was involved). So to summarise the rights of dharma movies with utv are wake up sid,kurbaan,i hate love stories, emaet and gippy. Rest are with dharma themselves and my name is khan with star. Dostana not shifting yet is a surprise, i remember it premiered almost a year after it's release , so probably sony might have acquired it on a long term deal to justify the cost.
