Royal Detective

We'll take in the world

With a whole new perspective

Our small and mighty hero

We'll find the answers

Let's go

Let's hear it for Mira

Royal Detective

MIRA: The Case of

the Mysterious Necklace.

-Hi, Mira.

-Hi, Pinky.

I have some

very excited customers

for your grooming station.

BOTH: She means us!

Hi, Mikku.

Hi, Chikku.

You're in for

a special surprise.

She means me!

ALL: Meena!

Meena is the official stylist

for my grooming station today.

That's great.

She's very talented.

I know, right?

How lucky is it that my best friend

is the best stylist in Jalpur.

-So lucky.

-Best whisker comber too.

Aw, thank you guys.

How lucky is it that my best friend

has the best grooming station in Jalpur?

Even luckier!

Best whisker washer too.

I'll get you both washed.

As soon as Meena finishes painting

Anoop she can style you.

-(ANOOP TRUMPETING)

-(ALL EXCLAIMING)

I didn't forget you, Anoop,

be right there.

Let's see.

I'm thinking pom-poms for Mikku.

And for Chikku

Beads, sequins, gems.

Ribbons.

Love it!

MIKKU: Sounds good.

As long as

these whiskers get some attention too.

-MIKKU: Bath time.

-CHIKKU: Yes.

Washa, washa, washa

Wow, Pinky, this soap smell so good.

Thanks, I make it myself

out of rosewater.

Scrubba dub dub.

Mongooses in the tub.

-Cold.

-That's cold.

MEENA: Ahem

Come on out, Anoop.

-(TRUMPETS)

-Huh.

Wait.

Wow, Meena, great job.

Looking good, Anoop.

That's one style-in elephant!

Meena, I told you that

Anoop gets painted.

Elephants don't get bows.

Well, I like the bows.

It bring out his gorgeous eyes.

(SIGHS)

-MIKKU: I've never seen Pinky, so

-CHIKKU: Pink.

But, Meena,

elephants always get painted.

Pinky, I am the stylist.

If you're not going to listen to my ideas,

then maybe I shouldn't be your stylist.

-Hold on, Meena.

-Maybe you shouldn't.

Pinky. Wait.

Okay, then I'm leaving,

as your not stylist.

Fine, and I'm taking the bows off Anoop

because elephants only get painted.

-What is happening?

-I don't know.

Uh, Meena, Pinky

maybe we should talk this through.

Still walking away.

I'm getting further away.

I am not turning around.

Meena, wait.

Pinky, Meena is your friend.

-You should talk to her.

-It's fine.

I don't need her to be my stylist.

I'm way too busy anyway.

I have to style Anoop.

(TRUMPETS)

Hey, look, Tinku is here.

-Hi, Tinku, you're to be groomed?

-(TINKU GRUNTS)

Guys, I think we should

talk to Meena.

But what of the whiskers?

We'll come back after. Come on.

(MIKKU, CHIKKU GASP)

Mira, you are not going to believe

what happened.

You decided to talk to Pinky?

I knew she'd make up

with her best friend.

No, I can't think about the fight

with my former best friend right now.

Not when something

so exciting has happened.

What happened, Meena?

I am currently the subject

and the center of my own mystery.

See this gorgeous peacock necklace?

-(ALL EXCLAIMS)

-CHIKKU: Pretty!

I've been wanting it for weeks

since I saw it at the jewelry shop.

And today it appeared

mysteriously at the door

of my mom's boutique

with my name on it.

So someone must have

given it to you as a gift.

Yes, Mira, will you please

help me find out

who gave me

such a thoughtful gift?

I need to thank them.

Of course.

We're on the case.

We're on the case

We're on the case

We're on the case

Look a little closer

With your magnifying glass

Open up your notebook

Get your coat

and badge on fast

Ask all the questions

Follow your senses

Focus on every clue

BOTH: Ooh.

Listen for answers

Find what you're after

That's what detectives do

We're on the case

We're on the case

We're on the case

Okay, Meena,

do you have any idea,

who would have

sent you a necklace?

I'm extremely loved in Jalpur,

so, it could be my papa, my mummy,

my sister Priya,

Kamala, since I gave her

the recipe the other day.

Dhruv, to apologize

for spilling chai on me last week.

It could even be the queen.

Ah, there are so many people

it could be.

This mystery is impossible.

How about we go

to the jewelry shop first

and see if Mrs. Kapadia

remembers who bought it?

Brilliant, I tell you.

This is why

she is the royal detective, people.

Hello, girls.

Oh, Meena, that necklace

looks so lovely on you.

Thank you, It's been

my favorite piece here for a while now.

Someone got it for me.

But I don't know who.

Auntie, do you remember who bought it?

No, I don't.

It was sold quite a while ago.

Maybe I wrote it down. Let me check.

Mikku check out this necklace.

It has a goat on it.

I know just the person

who would love this necklace.

MIKKU: Maybe as a gift

CHIKKU: From her best friend.

BOTH: Pinky!

Pinky and I are in

the middle of a fight, remember?

Mira, Meena, I didn't write it down.

I'm so sorry, girls.

(SNIFFS)

Meena, you smell so good.

Did you get

some new perfume, too?

Perfume, no, I have no idea

where that smell is coming from.

Step aside, people.

Expert sniffers coming through.

(SNIFFING)

BOTH: It's the necklace.

(SNIFFING)

Ah, It is the necklace.

But what does it smell like?

(SNIFFING)

I detect a soft,

delicate aroma with fresh floral notes.

Smells like flowers.

Flowers?

That could be a clue.

Maybe who ever

gave you the necklace,

came from a place

that smells like flowers.

-Like the flower stand?

-Exactly.

My dance teacher Shilpaji,

runs the flower stand.

She must have given me the necklace.

Why would she do that?

Uh, because I'm her

favorite dance student.

Why didn't I think of that before?

Meena, wait up. Thank you, Auntie.

Good luck.

Shilpaji, as your

number one dance student.

I just want to say that

you are my number one dance teacher.

Thank you so much for the gift.

(CHUCKLES) Well, thank you, Meena.

That's very sweet of you

to say, but what gift?

Hello, Auntie, Meena means

the peacock necklace she's wearing.

Ah, it's lovely, but I'm afraid

I don't know anything about it.

Oh, but I am your favorite

dance student, right?

Meena well you are a joy to teach,

I cannot confirm or deny

that you are my favorite

dance student.

Seems like someone is dancing

around the cold hard facts here,

wouldn't you say, Chikku?

-I would, Mikku. I would. Whoa!

-Whoa!

Auntie, this necklace

smells like flowers.

Can you tell us what kind?

Yes.

(SNIFFS) Roses.

And in fact, Meena,

your father was here earlier buying roses.

-Papa!

-Uncle Naveen!

He must've bought me the necklace.

Don't forget this.

Thank you, Auntie Meena, wait up.

-Papa.

-(LAUGHS)

Beti, what is this for?

Papa, you're the best.

First you get me

the most perfect and gorgeous necklace,

and then you get me roses.

I am so lucky.

Oh, I must get these

beautiful roses in a vase.

Naveen, thank you

for getting them for me.

Wait, the roses aren't for me?

No, I got them for your mother.

-My mother?

-Mira, Mikku, Chikku,

what's all this fuss?

So sorry. Meena, you forgot your necklace.

Thanks, Mira.

Papa, did you get me

this peacock necklace?

No, I didn't, sweetheart,

but what a wonderful gift.

Mira, how am I ever going

to thank the person who gave it to me?

If I can't figure out who they are.

Oh, we're not giving up.

To find more clues,

we need to go back to the very beginning.

BOTH: Mira, we got this.

Back to the beginning, people.

Mira, Mira, Mira

Mira, Mira, Mira

Hey!

(LAUGHING)

Guys, that's not the beginning I meant.

Meena, can you show me

exactly where you found the necklace?

Actually, I'm the one who found it.

It was in this pouch with this yellow bow.

A yellow bow, wait.

I think I know

who gave you the necklace.

Let's think this through.

Auntie Pushpa found the necklace

in a pouch tied with the yellow bow

just like the yellow bows

Meena put on Anoop

at Pinky's grooming station.

So that means the person

who left the necklace was Pinky!

Pinky gave you the necklace.

I knew it.

I knew it too.

I don't believe it.

Yellow bows could come

from anywhere.

They could,

but there's another clue.

The necklace smells like roses.

Remember?

(SNIFFS) That's the same smell

as the rose water soap

that Pinky makes

to wash the animals.

-Wow!

-Mira is a genius!

What a sweet and proper gift

that Pinky gave you, Meena dear.

Wait just a minute.

Why would she give me a gift?

We're not even friends anymore.

We had a fight.

Mikku and I fight all the time.

-We do?

-Of course, we do!

We, do not.

Oh, yes, we do.

Meena, having a disagreement

with your best friend

doesn't mean you stop being friends.

It's just temporary

Everything will be all right

It's perfectly normal

for friends to have a fight

We've all got opinions

and we like them to be heard

And in a disagreement,

it doesn't matter who has the last word.

-The last word!

-The last word!

Who's right, who's wrong

To get along

We put our differences aside

-If it's paint or bows

-Or bows or paint

Work it out you've gotta try

A friendship should be treasured

with the love that it deserves

'Cause all those things

comes second

When you put your friendship first

Yeah, all those things come second

When you put your friendship first

Chikku, I always put your friendship first

followed closely by laddoos.

Everything comes second

when you put your friendship first

Go ahead, Meena, ask her.

Pinky, did you give me

this necklace?

Yes, I bought it a few weeks ago

after you said you liked it

at the jewelry shop.

Really?

I dropped it off this morning

as a thank you gift for being my stylist.

You did?

I wanted you to have

a surprise when you got back,

but then we had a fight.

Oh, Pinky, I'm sorry,

I was angry with you.

I wasn't a very good friend today.

I'm sorry,

I was angry with you too.

I wasn't a good friend either.

Pinky, I love the necklace so much.

It's truly gorgeous, but nothing

is as fabulous as our friendship.

CHIKKU AND MIKKU: Aw!

Emotionally compromised.

Happy tears, happy tears.

Oh, and Meena,

will you please, please,

please be the official stylist

for my grooming station?

I promise to listen to all your ideas.

I would love to.

And I promise to listen

to all your ideas too.

Thank you, Mira,

for helping me today.

You're not only a great detective,

but you are the best cousin.

And a wonderful friend.

I'm so happy

you're back to being friends.

Oh, Mikku and Chikku,

you still need to get groomed.

-Yes, please.

-Clean whisker time.

We will groom you guys

after we come back.

Come on, Pinky,

I have the best idea.

Where are we going?

There, now we both have a necklace.

Oh, Meena.

I love it! Thank you!

Friendship necklaces. How great.

And you need a friendship

necklace too, Mira.

Let's pick it out together.

Oh, thanks!

Hey, Mikku, where's

my friendship necklace?

Don't have one of those,

but here's a friendship leaf.

Ah, I love it.

And here's a friendship rock

for you, buddy.

-MIKKU: You're the best!

-CHIKKU: No, you're the best.

Okay, fine, you're right,

I'm the best.

MIRA: The Great

Donkey Mystery.

We just need to add a little bit of salt

and then let the khichdi cook.

Smells delicious, Papa.

Khichdi was my favorite dish

as a boy.

Mine too.

-You've never had khichdi before, Chikku.

-That's true.

It's so nice to have

enough room to cook it.

Thank you for letting us

use your kitchen, Mr. Puri.

My pleasure, old friend.

Papa, is the salt

you want to use?

Yes, this special pink salt

is really tasty.

I always like adding it

to the khichdi.

Can I put the salt in?

Sure, Chikku.

Whoa!

Uh-oh, I dropped the salt

into this water.

You should have let me do it.

I've got this. Stand back, people.

What happened to the salt?

-It's gone.

-Where'd it go?

Salt thief?

Guys, the salt dissolved

in the water.

Yes. Even if you can't

see the salt, it's still there.

How do you know it's still there?

Oh, if you taste the water,

you'll taste the salt.

-Ugh, yeah.

-That is some super salty water.

What do we do about the khichdi?

Mr. Puri, do you have

any pink salt we can use?

I'm afraid not.

My shipment hasn't come in yet.

We'll get more from Mr. Khan.

Come on, guys.

The faster we get the salt

the faster we eat the khichdi.

(LAUGHS)

Papa, we'll be right back.

I'll be waiting, Beti.

-Hello, Mr. Khan.

-Mira. Hi.

What brings you out

on this very hot day?

-We're making khichdi.

-And we need some pink salt.

-Do you have any?

-You're in luck.

Pinky just helped me pick up a delivery

of salt from the barge this morning.

She's around the corner

with Bunty the donkey.

Hi, Mira.

I'm here with Bunty.

(BRAYS)

Thanks, Mr. Khan.

Coming, Pinky.

Bunty, buddy.

How have you been?

-(BRAYS)

-I love this donkey.

Pinky, can we get some pink salt?

Pink salt? You know

how much I love pink salt?

I mean, of course, my name is Pinky.

(CLEARS THROAT)

About that pink salt, it is lost.

BOTH: Lost?

What do you mean?

Well, I'm training Bunty to do deliveries.

We picked up the salt from the barge

and brought it to the spice shop.

Bunty did a great job too.

He was strong and fast.

-That Bunty.

-He's a dream donkey.

(BRAYS)

But when we got back

to the shop the sack was empty.

I don't know what happened. Now

there's no pink salt for the whole town.

And Mr. Khan

is going to be upset with Bunty and me.

Pinky, don't worry.

We're going to find the salt.

We're on the case.

We're on the case

We're on the case

We're on the case

Look a little closer

With your magnifying glass

Open up your notebook

Get your coat

And badge on fast

Ask all the questions

Follow your senses

Focus on every clue

BOTH: Ooh.

Listen for answers

Find what you're after

That's what detectives do

We're on the case

we're on the case

We're on the case

Pinky, tell me exactly

what happened.

You took Bunty to the barge

to get the salt?

Yes!

And?

Oh, you want me

to tell you everything?

Yes. Having all the details

will help me solve the case.

Well, then, follow me.

Bunty, don't worry.

Mira will find salt in no time.

Maybe after the case,

we can go on a ride together?

(BRAYS)

I think that's a yes.

I think that's a (BRAYS)

But okay.

Uh, Pinky, what are you doing?

I'm showing you

exactly what happened.

First, I skipped ahead

to the riverfront,

and Bunty followed

behind me like this. See?

(PINKY HUMMING)

-I'm following, Bunty.

-No, I'm following, Bunty.

Mira, you should skip too.

That way you'll know

exactly what I did earlier today.

Okay, then, I guess

I'm skipping on the case.

(GRUNTS)

We're here.

So, you got the salt

from a barge?

Not just any barge.

That barge over there.

Hi, Arvind.

Hi, Pinky. Hi, Mira.

Arvind helped me load

the salt sack onto Bunty.

Yes, I did.

-What's going on?

-We're on a case.

The salt is missing.

Do you know what happened?

No. The whole sack was full

when we put it on Bunty.

Hmm

(PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING)

Bunty, did you notice anything strange

when you have the sack on?

(BRAYS)

How about you, Arvind?

I didn't see anything strange, Mira.

Pinky, after you got the salt,

where did you go?

I went straight back

to the spice shop.

Or did I?

How is he sitting like that?

I don't know!

When I grow up, I want to be Bunty.

(TABLA MUSIC PLAYING)

Ooh, music.

Pinky, the spice shop is that way.

I think I went this way, actually,

while hopping on one foot.

Okay, then, we'll hop too.

PINKY: Actually, I stopped here

at the Dhobi Ghat,

when I saw pretty colors in the water.

(BRAYS)

ALL: So pretty.

-Bunty is really thirsty.

-(BRAYS)

Yeah. It is so hot today.

I'm thirsty too.

BOTH: Me too. Water break!

(GULPING)

Was the salt still in Bunty's sack

when you came here?

(GULPS) I think so.

Let's ask the Dhobi

if she saw anything.

Hi, Auntie.

Mira. Hello, dear.

Here to drop off some clothes?

Actually, Auntie, we're here on a case.

We were wondering

if you've seen any pink salt around.

Pinky stopped here earlier,

and maybe she dropped it.

I haven't seen any salt, Mira. Sorry.

That's okay. Thank you.

Auntie says she hasn't

seen any salt anywhere.

Oh, no! Did she lose her salt too?

No, she hasn't seen your salt.

Oh, that's not good.

Mira, we need to find the salt.

We must help Bunty.

We'll figure this out.

Pinky, did you go

anywhere else on your way back?

I think I went this way.

-But, then again

-ALL: Did I?

-We're just going to follow you.

-Okay, come on.

Wait, I feel like

I've been here before.

Did you stop here on your way

back from the river front?

Yes.

Why would you stop here?

Yeah, it's just a patch of flowers.

For Pari the goat!

Pari loves to eat flowers.

And I saw these ones and I just knew

that I had to get them for her.

(BRAYS)

Looks like Bunty doesn't like flowers.

Good eye, Mikku.

We won't get him flowers

for his birthday then.

Do you remember

anything else, Pinky?

(BUNTY BRAYS)

Bunty, where you going?

Can we come?

Buddy, you should come

to our place sometime.

We have great toys.

(BRAYS)

Bunty is going to be our bestie.

Bunty, Mikku and Chikku.

Ahem, Bunty, Chikku and Mikku.

-(BRAYS)

-CHIKKU AND MIKKU: Whoa!

I walked this way

to grab some of these flowers.

Oh, and then I grabbed

some of these ones.

Oh, and definitely had

to get some of these.

-Pari would love those.

-Girl, I know.

And after I got

all the flowers for Pari,

I headed straight back

to the spice shop.

Or did you?

No, I did not.

Because I had to get Bunty first,

and he was over here.

Bunty, Bunty, look,

I can do a headstand.

I can eat 20 laddoos. I'll show you.

I just need to get

20 laddoos first.

Guys, I think Bunty just

wants to drink some water.

(BRAYS)

Did Bunty drink water

from that planter last time too?

Yes, he did.

He must have been

really tired from the heat.

And from carrying that sack

of salt from the barge.

Weren't you, Bunty?

(BRAYS)

His sack is falling

into the water, and it's getting wet.

(BRAYING)

Hey, Bunty doesn't like the water.

That's 'cause it's salty.

Ugh! Too salty.

Bunty's smart.

That's why he stopped drinking it.

He's a genius.

(BRAYS)

We don't like

the water either, Bunty.

The water in the planter is salty,

just like the water you dropped the salt

into this morning, Chikku.

I was trying to help.

I know. And you just helped me

solve the case.

I did? Of course, I did.

I think I know what happened.

Let's think this through.

This morning, when Chikku

dropped the salt into a pot of water,

it dissolved.

Even though we couldn't see the salt,

the water tasted salty.

What if when Bunty

was drinking the water earlier,

the salt fell into the water

and dissolved?

That's why even though

we can't see the salt,

the water tastes salty.

-So, the salt is gone?

-(BRAYS)

It's in the water, Pinky.

You just can't see it.

What are we gonna do now?

Mr. Khan is gonna be

so disappointed in Bunty and me.

We were supposed

to be helping him.

Don't worry, Pinky.

I'm sure if you just

tell him what happened, he'll understand.

What do you think, Bunty?

(BRAYS)

Pinky

BOTH: Bunty's got this!

-Chalo, chalo. Let's

-(BRAYS)

Oh, they're already going.

Uncle, I picked up

the salt from the barge.

But it's so hot today,

Bunty got thirsty when he drank water,

the sack got wet and the salt

dissolved into the water.

And now it's gone. I'm sorry.

(BRAYING)

Pinky, slow down. It's okay.

It is? But there's no salt

for all the people in town who need it.

Well, we'll just have to grind

some more from this.

Uh, Mr. Khan, that's a rock.

Actually, this is where

the salt comes from.

It just needs to be ground first.

(BRAYS)

Bunty's right.

We can help you grind it.

We can help too.

Salt grinding helpers right here.

We got you, buddy.

(BRAYS)

BOTH: He loves us!

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

Thanks for helping us,

Mira, Mikku and Chikku.

(BRAYS)

-Of course, Pinky.

-Anything for Bunty.

We got your back, buddy.

That's the last of the salt.

And here's some for your khichdi.

Thanks, Pinky.

I forgot about the khichdi.

Bunty is so interesting,

he made us forget about food.

(BRAYS)

Hello, my friends.

I hope you're hungry

because there is khichdi for everyone.

(CROWD CHEERING)

BOTH: Mmm.

Khichdi's definitely my favorite.

This is delicious, Papa.

I told you, the pink salt

makes it extra special.

I think it could use a little more.

ALL: Wait, wait, wait

Okay. That's way too much.

Chikku, can I have

some of your khichdi?

Mine is way too salty.

I'm not sure why.

Uh-uh.

-(BRAYS)

-CHIKKU AND MIKKU: Bunty!

Are you here to give us

our ride?

(BRAYS)

-Yay!

-Dreams do come true.

Any time you want to speed up,

Bunty, we're ready.

CHIKKU:

We're hanging on tight. We could take it.

MIKKU: Any time now.

Is this as fast as he goes?

I don't know.

(BUNTY BRAYS)
