Let's hear it for Mira

Royal Detective

MIRA: Mystery at the food festival.

Mira, you'll want to stick

close to us today.

Yeah, we know everything there is

to know about the Jalpur food festival.

(LAUGHING)

That's because you two are

the leading snack experts in Jalpur.

Guilty as charged.

It's all true.

Here we are, Mikku and Chikku.

Don't eat all the food. (LAUGHS)

-We would never.

-Really.

What kind of mongooses

does he think we are?

Well, it is something we would do.

But, not at the Food Festival.

Mikku and Chikku were on the Food Festival

Planning Committee, uncle.

We gave our expert suggestions

on all the dishes.

I see. That is very impressive.

-Well, enjoy.

-Thanks for the ride, uncle.

-Guys, lead the way.

-Come on, Mira.

Looks like everyone is getting

ready to open their booths.

And Chef Shobha is here.

Yup, yup!

That was one of our expert suggestions.

In fact, we're in on a very big secret.

Chef Shobha is introducing

a brand new flavor of Kulfi today.

Chikku, that's top secret information.

Oh, that's so exciting. What's the flavor?

I call it Yummylicious.

ALL: Chef Shoba!

Hello, Mira, Mikku and Chikku.

It's so great to be back in Jalpur

for the Food Festival.

We can't wait to stop by your booth.

MIKKU AND CHIKKU: Many, many times.

(CHUCKLES) I look forward to it.

What booth should

we check out first, guys?

Guys?

-Try to keep up, Mira.

-We know where everything is.

Yeah, the Gulab Jamun are over here,

and the bhujias are over here.

(SNIFFING)

And the smells that make you happy

are here, there, and everywhere!

At last

It's finally here

Our favorite day of the year

Let us introduce you

To the tastiest treats

Fresh dosas that are filled up

An important part of every

Balanced mongoose diet

Or a hint of salty mint

Let's go, follow me

We'll try each and every stall

Delicious digestible

No two tastes are identical

The Jalpur Food Festival

What do you like best?

Everything

The Jalpur Food Festival

Too many choices.

Where do we start?

How about we start right in the middle?

Great idea. Mr. Puri's bhujia stand.

Here we come.

There you go. Piping hot bhujia.

Mr. Puri has come up with

a new twist on bhujia.

It already has garlic and chili peppers,

but he added an extra kick.

By extra kick, he means extra spicy.

He calls it "fire bhujia."

I came up with the name.

Actually, I did.

That looks so good.

Let's get in line.

Hi, Mira. Hi, Mikku and Chikku.

MIKKU AND CHIKKU: Hello, Manya.

That's an interesting bag

you have there, Manya.

Thanks. I made it by upcycling

an old sail from a boat,

and I used some rope someone threw away,

to make the handle.

That's very clever,

but what's making it move?

Oh, that's just Pippla.

(BLEATS)

I'm helping Pinky goat sit today.

I made the bag

so I could carry her around.

She loves it.

-So cute.

-(BLEATS)

Good morning, Manya.

Here's your fire bhujia. Enjoy.

Thanks, Mr. Puri.

-Bye, Mira.

-Bye, Manya.

Mira, Mikku, Chikku,

ready for some fire bhujia?

ALL: Oh, yes!

ALL: Mmm.

-Hot!

-Spicy!

Hot, and spicy. (EXHALES)

Need lassis.

-Now!

-Please!

Kamala, our mouths are on fire.

May we have some lassis?

Sure. Here you go.

-Whew!

-Much better. Thank you.

You can help yourselves to

some complimentary banana chips as well.

They're on the counter.

MIRA: Thanks, Kamala.

Uh Kamala.

There are no banana chips in here.

Huh? The bowl is empty? How can that be?

I filled it up just a moment ago

before I made the lassis.

(EXCLAIMING IN HORROR)

My gulab jamun! They're gone!

My dosas. They've disappeared.

(GASPS) My pakoras are gone, too.

(EXCLAIMING IN HORROR)

All the food is missing!

This this can't be happening.

(SIGHING SADLY)

Don't worry, everyone.

We'll figure out what happened

to the food.

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

So, Kamala,

you said the banana chips

were in this bowl?

-Yes, Mira.

-Huh.

There are banana chip crumbs on the table,

but they're in a strange pattern.

It looks like a triangle

with a curved line under it.

Do you think it could be a clue?

It might be. Do you recognize it at all?

No. I just recognize the crumbs.

They look like the ones

Mikku has on his face.

Actually, wait! Mikku?

Why do you have banana chip

crumbs on your face?

Huh, what? I do?

I thought you said there were

no more banana chips left in the bowl.

Kamala are you accusing

my trustworthy and terrific brother

of eating the banana chips?

This is an outrage,

and I won't stand for it.

I don't care what anyone says.

My brother has never even

seen a banana chip.

(CLEARS THROAT) Well, actually, there was

one left in the bowl, and I ate it.

You did?

So that might be why

I have crumbs on my mouth.

But, I just ate the one!

You see, Mikku didn't eat

all the banana chips.

It's okay, Mikku.

Nobody's accusing you of anything, right?

But Mira, they do love

my banana chips a lot.

Kamala, while that is true,

let's not jump to conclusions

until we know all the facts.

Okay, Mira.

Let's go talk to Mrs. Jafri next.

A whole batch of freshly made

Gulab Jamun. Gone!

Just gone!

(SIGHING SADLY) I was

so excited to eat some.

Hi, Dhruv, Mrs. Jafri, we're here to help.

Oh, Mira, thank goodness you're here.

Where were the Gulab Jamun

before they went missing?

They were in that bowl.

MIRA: Look, there are some

pieces here on the ground.

Huh, look at that.

MIRA: There's that strange pattern again.

A triangle with a curved line under it.

-Again?

-Oh, strange!

It's sticky.

Oh, that's the sweet, sticky syrup I put

on the Gulab Jamun.

It gets all over everything.

I've got some on my hands,

some on my clothing.

Chikku even has some on his whiskers.

Chikku, did you eat all the Gulab Jamun?

Dhruv, how dare you accuse my brother,

an honest, handsome mongoose,

of being a Gulab Jamun thief?

Psst, uh, maybe you'd like to tell me

how you got syrup in your whiskers?

There were some pieces of Gulab Jamun

on the counter when we got here.

So yes, I ate a few and got

some syrup in my whiskers.

But I did not,

I repeat, did not eat all of them.

You see, he didn't do it.

DHRUV: Okay, if you say so.

I really hope you find

all the missing food. Really.

Don't worry. We will.

Oh, no! What if something

happens to Chef Shobha's

Yummylicious Kulfi?

Yeah What if that disappears too?

Mira, we're going to go guard the Kulfi.

Hang on, Kulfi,

we're coming to protect you.

Wait up.

BOTH: Chef Shobha!

Please don't say

that your Kulfi has gone missing.

Don't say it. Please don't say it.

Mira, you won't believe it.

My Kulfi has gone missing.

CHIKKU: You said it.

We begged you not to say it

and you said it.

Why?

Why is this happening to me?

I mean to all of us!

It's gone. All gone.

Chef Shobha, would you mind

if I look around for clues?

Please, Mira, go ahead.

Guys, look, there's that pattern again.

A triangle with a curved line under it.

Can you tell me what it's made out of?

-Noses

-BOTH: Do your stuff.

(BOTH SNIFFING)

Smells like Pomegranate.

I'm getting hints of Lotus.

Those are the exact ingredients

of my Yummylicious Kulfi.

So this must be melted Kulfi.

I heard that Kulfi is missing, too.

Did you guys eat all of it?

Us? Eat all the Kulfi?

Absolutely not.

Then why is there Kulfi on your tails?

BOTH: What?

She asks a good question.

I really hope somebody has a good answer.

Guys, I think you may have

accidentally gotten kufi on your tails

when you were sniffing the ground.

Phew! Of course, that explains it.

We knew that.

Manya, they've been with me

the whole time,

so I know they didn't eat the Kulfi.

Oh, okay.

Well, I hope you figure out who did.

CHIKKU: Mira

-Everybody thinks we ate all the food.

-We didn't. We promise.

This Food Festival means everything to us.

I know it does.

Don't worry. I believe you.

But what if we can't figure out

what happened?

-(SNEEZING)

-That was a big sneeze.

Here Pippla, let me wipe your nose.

Manya, could you show me

your handkerchief, please?

A little gross, but sure, Mira.

Huh, we've seen that pattern before.

Let's think this through.

Everywhere food went missing,

we found the pattern of a triangle

with a curved line under it.

And that's the same shape

as Pippla's nose.

What if Pippla went around

eating everything,

and then left her nose print in the food?

(CHIKKU AND MIKKU GASPS) Pippla!

Manya, is it okay if I look inside

Pippla's bag?

Of course, Mira.

Look, banana chip crumbs!

And Gulab Jamun crumbs.

And melted Kulfi!

A tragic waste.

The case of the missing food is closed.

It's all in Pippla's belly.

Pippla must have really enjoyed the food.

Pippla, that wasn't very nice.

That food was for everyone.

(BURPS AND BLEATS)

Come on, Pippla.

We have to go tell all the chefs

we're sorry you ate their food.

BOTH: That'll take a while.

But that's a good thing, Mikku and Chikku.

It will give everyone time

to remake their dishes.

Auntie, Mira figured out

what happened to all the food.

Pippla snuck out of my bag

and grabbed all the food for herself.

I guess she was really excited

since it was her first Food Festival.

I told her never to do that again.

And we're both very sorry.

(BLEATS)

That's all right, Manya.

I'm sure Pippla didn't mean any harm.

I'd say she has excellent taste.

And an impressive appetite.

Mikku, Chikku, I'm really sorry

I blamed you for eating all the food.

I'm sorry I did, too.

-Me too.

-(BLEATS)

Will you accept this bowl of

fresh banana chips as an apology?

-Will we ever?

-Apology accepted.

Mira, thanks for clearing our good names.

Now the whole world knows we had

nothing to do with the missing food.

You're both very welcome.

Thanks for all your expert help

on this case.

And your expert noses.

Mikku and Chikku,

a fresh batch of Kulfi is ready.

MIKKU AND CHIKKU: More Kulfi?

-Oh, yes. Enough for everyone!

-(BLEATS)

Chef Shobha, you're gonna need

to make another batch for Pippla.

-And, for us.

-(BURPS)

(ALL LAUGHING)

MIRA: The mystery of the Missing Bangles.

I can't wait to eat Auntie Pushpa's

Shahi Paneer for tonight's dinner.

These tomatoes will be perfect for it.

She's also going to need

some green chilies to make it extra tasty.

Stand back, Priya.

Chili pepper sniffers coming through.

(SNIFFING)

Oh, pungent and peppery!

And probably very spicy!

Oh, that's hot! Hot, hot, hot, hot!

Perfect! I'll take them. Thanks.

Uncle Naveen, it's great that we have

so much fresh food in our garden.

Well, it goes fast.

We need to plant more seeds.

Chotu, come help me dig a hole

for the seeds in this pot of dirt.

(BABBLES)

(LAUGHING)

-Shabash beta, good job!

-(EXCLAIMING HAPPILY)

These tomatoes are gorgeous.

Tonight's dinner with Mrs. Kapadia

is going to be fabulous.

You know, she asked me

to make my famous Shahi Paneer.

One of the many reasons

why I married you, dear.

Auntie Pushpa, what's in your pouch?

Uh, these are my very special bangles.

They've been in our family

a very long time.

My mother gave them to me,

and her mother gave them to her.

Mummy, tell Mira the best part.

One day I'll give two of them to Meena,

two to Priya, and two to you, Mira.

Auntie, I will always cherish them.

I would wear them tonight,

but they need to get cleaned.

There just aren't enough hours in the day

to get everything done.

(GROANS)

Chotu and I can take them

to the jewelry shop on our father-son day.

Oh, would you, dear?

That would be such a help.

Now, there's a lot that needs

to get done for the dinner.

Mira, would you be a dear

and pick up some flowers?

Of course, Auntie Pushpa.

Priya, I need you to come help me

with some shopping.

Yes, Mummy, I'll get the bag.

Bye, Chotu.

Have a wonderful day with your papa.

-(EXCLAIMING EXCITEDLY)

-We will.

Come on, guys, I need your expert noses

to sniff the flowers.

BOTH: You got it.

What about this one?

Nice. But those flowers

make real statements.

CHIKKU: And they also come

with an extra surprise

Me!

(LAUGHING) Silly Chikku.

Mira, I'm so glad I found you.

By any chance, did you see the red pouch?

You mean the one

Auntie Pushpa keeps her bangles in?

-Yes. You've seen it?

-No, I'm sorry, I haven't.

I went to drop it off at the jewelry shop,

but when I checked through this baby bag,

the pouch wasn't in there.

-Oh, no!

-That's bad.

Don't worry, Uncle Naveen.

We'll find Auntie Pushpa's bangles.

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

Uncle Naveen, when was the last time

you remember seeing the pouch?

When we were

on the rooftop planting seeds.

Your auntie handed the pouch to me

and I put it in Chotu's bag.

Do you mind if I take

a look inside the bag?

Maybe we can find a clue.

Please, go ahead.

Look at all these toys.

Chotu always has the best stuff.

Huh. Found something.

Look at this.

The perfect broom for our apartment.

We could use it to clean

under somebody's bed, not naming names.

Guys, that's not a broom.

It's a tassel from Auntie Pushpa's pouch.

It must have fallen off.

(GIBBERISH)

-It's a clue, Chotu.

-Not a toy.

-How about we trade you?

-Tassel for a shovel.

(EXCITED SOUNDS)

Thank you, Chotu.

That's a good boy.

Chotu, stick with us.

And one day,

you too can be an expert detective helper.

And get all the snacks

that come with the job.

Speaking of snacks,

let's see if he has any in the bag.

After me.

So we found a tassel,

but where could the pouch be?

Maybe it dropped out of the bag

on your way to the jewelry shop.

Let's retrace your steps

and see if we can find it.

Okay, where do we start?

Where's the first place you went

with Chotu on your father-son day?

Well, we watched boats

near the dhobi ghats.

Okay. Then, let's head there.

-CHIKKU: A little help.

-(CHOTU LAUGHING)

BOTH: Whoa!

Right behind you, Mira.

Uncle, what did you and Chotu do here?

We sat on this bench

and watched the boats.

-NAVEEN: Chotu loves boats.

-(CHOTU LAUGHING)

Everyone, let's look around

for the bangles.

-Come on, Chotu.

-Learn from the best.

(LAUGHING)

(CHOTU LAUGHING)

Well, well, well, what do we have here?

A lost shoe.

We have another mystery, people!

Guys, that's Chotu's shoe.

-See how fast we solved the case?

-We're that good.

Respect the nose.

Uncle, I found another tassel.

Yes, a clue! That's very good.

Hmm, but no bangle pouch?

No, I don't think you dropped it here.

I will not panic. I will not panic.

No need to panic.

We just have to keep looking.

Where did you take Chotu next?

The music shop.

Joshi sir does performances

every afternoon, for the kids.

Then, that's our next stop. Let's go.

(CAPTIVATING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)

(ALL CHEERING)

Wow, that was a magnificent

performance, Joshi sir.

You are too kind, Mira.

Join us any afternoon.

And, Naveen, I see you and Chotu

are back for an encore.

I'm afraid not.

We're looking for a red pouch

I might have dropped.

Auntie Pushpa's bangles are in it.

You lost Pushpa's bangles?

Oh, boy, Naveen.

I do not envy you right now.

Thankfully, I have my niece on the case.

Otherwise, I don't know what I would do.

Feel free to look around.

Thank you, Joshi sir.

Remember, Chotu,

a good detective helper

looks in every nook,

and behind every Tabla.

-(CHOTU BABBLES)

-Little hard to see,

but this Tabla is awfully hairy.

Because it's not a Tabla. It's my face!

I can't see because Chotu took my glasses.

Chotu, come back with Mikku's glasses.

A clue! Joshi sir, you have a clue.

I don't think I have a clue

because I have no idea

what you're talking about.

Joshi sir, I think what my uncle is saying

is there's a tassel from the pouch

caught in the string of the Sitar.

Oh, well, what do you know?

-Here you go.

-Thank you.

Uncle, it looks like

the pouch isn't here either.

So, where did you go next?

Our last stop before the jewelry shop

was the Kulfi cart.

Then, that's where we need to go.

-Come on, guys.

-Sure, Mira.

Just as soon as we find my glasses.

Chotu buried them.

-Chotu!

-(CHOTU BABBLES)

Don't worry. I got you, bro.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

Good as new.

I still can't see a thing.

Here you go, Mikku.

Much better. Thank you, Mira.

We got Kulfi at the stand right here.

So, should we spread out and search?

Uncle, you're catching on.

Pay very close attention, Chotu.

-(CHOTU BABBLES)

-Chotu? Oh, no.

Gotcha!

Chotu, what just fell out of your vest?

-Uncle, look!

-Another tassel?

So maybe

BOTH: Chotu took the pouch.

Chotu, did you take the pouch?

Where's Mummy's pouch, beta?

-(GIBBERISH)

-May we check your pockets?

(LAUGHING)

-The pouch!

-BOTH: Case closed!

-Kulfi time.

-Wait, the bangles aren't in here.

Case not closed.

Kulfi time not happening.

Chotu must have taken the bangles.

But where did he put them?

Mira. Uncle.

BOTH: We got this.

So, Chotu. Detective helper

to Detective helper.

Where did you put the bangles?

(BABBLES)

I don't speak baby. Do you?

No!

We need a translator.

-I know! Raj?

-(CLUCKS)

(CLUCKS)

-MIKKU: Raj, got somewhere to be?

-CHIKKU: Yeah, he must.

Busy chicken.

Mira, the bangles mean

so much to your auntie.

I'm just going to have

to tell Pushpa the truth.

Tell me the truth about what?

Naveen, what's wrong?

What happened, papa?

I have some bad news.

I went to drop off your bangles

at the jewelry shop,

but they were missing

from Chotu's baby bag.

Chotu took the pouch,

but we don't know what

he did with the bangles.

I'm so sorry, Pushpa.

We looked everywhere.

Oh, dear!

How could they have just disappeared?

Chotu, don't bury that onion.

-Mummy needs that to make Shahi Paneer.

-Wait!

I think I know what Chotu

did with the bangles.

ALL: You do?

Let's think this through.

Everywhere we went today,

Chotu buried something.

First, he buried his shoe.

Then Mikku's glasses, and now the onion.

What if Chotu dug a hole

and buried Auntie Pushpa's bangles in it?

No. You really think?

I can definitely believe that.

We need to split up and dig around

at all the places Uncle Naveen took Chotu.

-I'll help.

-I can dig, darling.

-Ready to dig!

-Let's do this, people!

(INDIAN MUSIC PLAYING

-Any luck?

-No, they're not here.

We found a lot of dirt.

But, that's it.

Oh, Chotu, where,

oh, where did you put those bangles?

If only you could tell us.

Wait a second.

Uncle Naveen,

didn't Auntie Pushpa give you the bangles

before your special day with Chotu?

Yes, she gave them to me at the

ALL: Rooftop garden!

That's the one place

we haven't checked yet.

Chalo, chalo. Let's go.

Chotu, did you dig over there?

(CHOTU SQUEALING)

Come on, I'll help you dig.

(LAUGHING)

MIRA: There they are!

Look what we found!

-My precious bangles!

-Yes!

Thank goodness.

And, that's

BOTH: Case closed.

Thank you, Chotu.

And thank you, Mira.

Mira, I don't know

what we'd do without you.

I'm just glad we found them

before the dinner.

And there's just enough time

to take them to be cleaned.

I'll bring them to the jewelry shop.

And I promise,

I won't lose them this time.

Don't worry, Auntie.

We'll go with him, to make sure.

And if he does a good job,

we'll get him Kulfi.

That is very generous of both of you.

Pushpa, what a feast!

No one makes Shahi Paneer like you do.

Thank you, Reena.

We wanted to make something

extra special for you.

You must have had a busy day.

Well, we sure did.

You don't know the half of it.

Pushpa, darling, are those new bangles?

They're so gorgeous.

Oh, these old things?

My mother gave them to me

on my wedding day.

They've been in our family

for generations.

And one day, mummy is going

to pass them down to us.

Just like we're passing

our detective knowledge

-down to Chotu.

-Isn't that right, Chotu?

(LAUGHING)

Chotu? What are you doing?

-Don't bury us!

-(CHOTU LAUGHING)

-MIKKU: Do we look like plants?

-CHIKKU: No!

We are mongooses!
