Let's hear it for Mira

Royal Detective

Mira, Mira, Mira

Mira, Mira, Mira

Hey!

Everybody knows I love

A mystery, big or small

I look close and then

I help my friends

There's nothing

She can't solve

Finding clues is what I do

So the Queen appointed you

Now my job's

A dream come true

I'm Mira

Royal Detective

Let's hear it for Mira

Royal Detective

Mira, Mira, Mira

Mira, Mira, Mira

Hey!

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 Missing

Lehenga Choli.

Mira.

Hello, Auntie.

Kamala said she wanted

to show me her new outfit.

Oh, yes. Come in. Come in.

Kamala and Dimple

are getting dressed right now.

-(GASPS) Are the girls ready?

-Almost.

Oh, Mira. This is my sister Khushy.

Namaste, Mira.

Namaste, Auntie, It's so nice to meet you.

-This is Mikku and Chikku.

-BOTH: Our pleasure.

The pleasure is all mine, darlings.

Saucy silks! Look at that dazzling kurta.

And, Mikku and Chikku, that fur is fab.

It's rich, shiny, and fluffy.

-I'm inspired!

-Thank you, Auntie.

-Excellent eye.

-I like her.

Everybody ready? Ta-da!

-KHUSHY: Darling, look at you.

-Wow, Kamala!

How fabulous!

-Love it, people!

-Stunning!

Isn't this the most gorgeous lehenga choli

you've ever seen?

Auntie Khushy,

this is my favorite outfit you ever made.

You have to see Dimple's outfit, too.

Dimple, come out.

-Dimple, beta?

-Where did she go?

Come on, Dimple.

Everybody wants to see you.

I don't wanna wear this, Kamala.

I want to wear pants.

You can't wear pants.

We're supposed to wear lehengas.

Remember? Auntie Khushy made them for us.

Okay.

Kamala, Dimple,

you both look so great in your outfit.

Khushy, you have really outdone yourself.

Saucy silks! They fit perfectly.

Mira, Auntie Khushy

designed these special lehenga cholis

to surprise our Nani

at her birthday celebration.

There is something very similar

about your outfits.

-But what?

-They match, Chikku.

It's a tradition in the family

to wear matching outfits.

-See?

-That's my Nani

and her sister when they were young.

-Unmistakable.

-Same chin.

And that's Mom and Auntie Khushy

when they were little.

They match, too!

And now, it's Dimple's and my turn

to wear matching outfits.

Chikku, we should wear

matching outfits, too.

I'll dress you up, gooses!

MIKKU AND CHIKKU: Okay. Dress up time!

Auntie, the fabric you used

is so beautiful.

I love the diamond mirrors.

It looks like a sky full of stars.

Wonderful observation, Mira.

I used fabric from a sari

that's been passed down

in our family for over 100 years.

Wow!

Our Nani gave it to Auntie Khushy

when she became a fashion designer

so she could make outfits with it.

We still have so much

to do to get ready for the celebration.

Kamala, please go change.

Do I have to?

Yes, beti.

-Dimple, you change, too, please.

-I already did.

And now, I'm playing dress up

with the gooses.

-That's a good look for you.

-And for you as well.

I'm ready.

Ashima, bring the outfits with you

so you can find

matching bangles while you're out.

Will do. Come along, girls.

Okay.

Mira, Mikku, Chikku,

please say you'll come

to the celebration for our Nani tonight.

We'd love to.

-We'll be there.

-So there.

-Great.

-Guys,

what do you say we pick up some sweets

as a gift for Nani?

Sure. We can get some as a gift

for us, too.

Sounds like a plan.

Mikku, Chikku (CHUCKLES)

Aren't you forgetting something?

BOTH: (CHUCKLES) Oh, right.

We'll just put these back.

(LAUGHS)

Okay, guys.

We have the perfect sweets for Nani.

Psst. Mira?

What is it, Kamala?

Nani can't know this,

but Dimple's outfit is missing!

-Oh, no!

-Say it isn't so!

This can't be happening.

Auntie Khushy worked so hard to make us

matching outfits for Nani's celebration.

What are we gonna do?

Don't worry, Kamala.

We'll find Dimple's outfit

before the celebration.

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

Kamala, tell me exactly what happened.

We went all around town

picking up things for the celebration.

When we got home, I looked in the bag.

My outfit was there,

but Dimple's was gone.

Her entire outfit?

Yes. I brought mine with me

so you could see.

-She had a choli like this.

-BOTH: Okay.

-A dupatta like this.

-BOTH: Uh-huh.

-A lehenga like this.

-BOTH: Got it.

And the headband which looks like this.

Not the headband!

It's too much. Too much!

Kamala, where exactly

did you stop on your way home?

First, we went to the dhaba

to get a snack.

-MIKKU AND CHIKKU: A snack?

-Maybe the outfit's there. Let's go.

MIRA: Hi, Mr. Puri.

Hi, Mira. Kamala, back already?

Did you want more chole and bhature?

Actually, we're on a case.

We're looking for Dimple's outfit.

No outfits here.

Just delicious, delicious bhature.

Excuse me.

We'll be the judge

of how delicious they are.

We'll have 12 bhature, please.

How about you start with one?

Kamala, where exactly

did you eat your chole and bhature?

At that table.

Let's see if we find any clues.

Mikku, my bhature is gone.

-You're wearing it, Chikku.

-Oh.

Come on. I'll help you eat your way out.

Did you find anything, Mira?

MIRA: I think I did.

Kamala, look at this mirror.

It's diamond-shaped.

Just like the ones from your outfit.

You're right, but what's it doing here?

Maybe it fell off

Dimple's outfit. Let's keep looking.

Nice hat, Bunty.

(BRAYS)

Very chic.

Wait a minute. That hat looks familiar.

It's Dimple's choli!

Bunty, you are redefining fashion.

What a moment, people.

But we're going to need the choli back.

You understand.

Official Royal Detective business.

-(BRAYING)

-Ah! Mira!

-Help!

-Guys, hang on!

Careful with the fabric.

It's very, very precious.

(MIKKU AND CHIKKU SHOUT)

(MIKKU AND CHIKKU GROANS)

Are you okay?

Is the choli okay?

-We're okay.

-And so is the choli.

Great job, guys.

All right, we have the choli.

Now all we need to find is

Dimple's dupatta, lehenga, and headband.

Did you stop anywhere else

besides the dhaba on your way home?

Yes! The flower cart.

We bought flowers to decorate the house.

Let's head there. Come on!

-MIRA: Hello, Auntie.

-Hello, girls.

Kamala, do you need more garlands?

No, Auntie. We're actually

looking for Dimple's outfit.

Oh, the one she's going to wear

for your Nani's celebration?

Yes, we found the choli,

but now we're looking for the rest of it.

Maybe your Nani has seen it?

-She's right there.

-Oh, no. Nani!

You don't want her to know

about the outfit until later.

-We need to hide.

-MIKKU AND CHIKKU: Hide!

CHIKKU: Let's hide over there

behind that hump.

MIKKU: That's the perfect hiding spot.

Kamala, I thought that was you.

Hi, Nani. You remember Mira.

The Royal Detective. Of course.

Namaste, Nani.

So what has gone missing today, Mira?

(LAUGHS NERVOUSLY)

Nani, you tell the best jokes.

Really? Maybe I'll share some more tonight

at the celebration.

-See you both soon.

-MIRA AND DIMPLE: Bye, Nani.

This is bad. This is bad. This so bad!

Don't worry. We'll find it.

Let's look around for more clues.

Ooh. Check this out!

More mirrors.

MIKKU: Mirrors?

CHIKKU: Where?

Mikku, is it me or is the hump moving?

Hang on for your life!

-Guys, it's Tinku.

-(BELLOWS)

-What an entrance!

-Looking stylish, Tinku!

It looks like he's wearing

Dimple's dupatta.

He is!

Easy, big guy.

That's very, very precious fabric.

-Thanks, Tinku.

-(BELLOWS)

Why are all these animals

wearing parts of Dimple's outfit?

That's a good question, Kamala.

Pari! Eyes on the stick.

(BLEATING)

-Hi, Pinky.

-Oh, hi, Mira. Hi, Kamala.

You have to see this new trick

I've been teaching Pari.

I hold this stick up in the air

and she runs to it.

-A magic stick

-for a magic trick.

Wait, Pinky,

are there mirrors on your stick?

Yes! Aren't they nice?

When Pari sees her reflection,

she stops like this.

-(BLEATS)

-Well, she's supposed to stop.

Uh, Mira,

why are we talking about a stick?

We need to find

the rest of Dimple's outfit.

Kamala, these mirrors on Pinky's stick

look exactly like the ones

on Dimple's outfit.

You're right.

Where did you find them, Pinky?

It was all Pari.

She found them on the ground.

-That's my girl.

-(BLEATS)

Did she also find that headband

she's wearing around her neck?

-That's Dimple's headband!

-(BLEATS)

Yes, but we didn't know

it belonged to anyone.

Pari, we need to give Kamala the headband.

(BLEATING)

-Headband, please.

-Thank you.

Pinky, Pari couldn't have put the headband

on herself, right?

(LAUGHS) I wish.

But goats don't dress themselves.

And neither do donkeys or camels.

But Pari loves playing dress up.

We love playing dress up, too.

Yes, we do.

-I'll take the headband.

-I'll take the headband.

The headband matches my glasses.

The headband matches my tail.

Wait. I think I know what happened.

-MIKKU AND CHIKKU: You do?

-What?

Let's think this through.

Earlier today, we saw someone else

playing dress up with Mikku and Chikku.

Dimple.

What if Dimple wanted to play dress up

with all the animals?

So she put the choli on Bunty,

the dupatta on Tinku,

and the headband on Pari.

Dimple? Why would she do that?

She's supposed to be wearing the outfit

to Nani's celebration.

I don't know. We need to talk to her.

Chalo, chalo! Let's go!

This is gonna look very nice.

Dimple, what are you doing

with your lehenga?

-I was, uh

-(CLUCKING)

Raj wanted to wear it.

Raj, I like the look.

Bold choice.

Dimple, did you give your choli,

dupatta, and headband

to your animal friends?

MIKKU AND CHIKKU: Whoa!

Yes! They like playing dress up with me.

Auntie Khushy made that outfit

for you, Dimple.

Not for the animals.

Dimple, is this true?

You gave your outfit to the animals?

Yes. I'm sorry, Mama.

Dimple, darling,

do you not like your outfit?

I do, Auntie Khushy.

I just don't like wearing skirts.

I want to wear pants.

But I know Kamala and I need to match.

Oh, my little heart.

I think we can work something out.

You've just given me the greatest idea.

Come with me.

(MIKKU AND CHIKKU MUNCHING)

Nani, it's so wonderful

to celebrate with you.

Oh, Mira, it's such a treat

having you here.

Well, I hope you're ready

for another treat.

The aunties have

a special surprise for you.

BOTH: Ta-da!

-What do you think, Ma?

-Do you love it?

Oh, my! Ashima, Khushy,

you both look so lovely,

and you're matching.

Just like when you were little.

Yes, Mummy, we knew you'd love it.

But that's not the only surprise.

Girls, come on out.

Oh, you spoil me!

This is the best surprise ever.

Kamala, you look beautiful.

Thank you, Nani.

And Dimple, look at your pants.

They're magnificent.

Auntie Khushy made them for me.

I love them. They're so perfect for you.

Mira, thank you so much for everything.

We couldn't have surprised Nani

without your help.

You're so welcome.

You look good, Chikku.

No, Mikku. You look great.

Raj, how about a makeover?

How about a bangle?

How about four bangles?

(CLUCKING ANGRILY)

MIRA: The Case of the Mysterious House.

Winding up, and what a throw!

If I do say so myself.

Going. Still going. Stopped.

Wow, Mikku. That's really far.

Nice throw, Mikku.

Chikku, how many mongoose hops is that?

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven!

Seven mongoose hops.

That's five mongoose hops for you, Mira,

three for me, and seven for Mikku.

Whoo-hoo! I'm winning!

Not so fast, Mikku.

Because it's my turn and I've got

my lucky ball.

Let's see what you've got.

Come on!

Huh? What? Oh, sorry.

Ram Singh Ji,

it looks like you dropped something.

Oh, thank you, Mira.

Well, busy, busy.

Lots to do. Okay, bye.

Bye, Ram Singh Ji.

Okay, let's do this, lucky ball.

Lucky ball. Lucky ball.

Mikku, hear that?

Adrika thinks my ball is lucky too.

Chikku, Adrika is a mynah bird.

She just repeats what you say.

Repeats what you say.

Repeats what you say.

Well, watch this.

Yes!

Now that's what I call a fastball.

BOTH: Whoa!

Hey, where'd it go?

It's over there. Got it.

Uh-oh. The ball went into the house.

Oh, no! That's

CHIKKU AND MIKKU: The mysterious house.

Mysterious?

How exactly is it mysterious?

It's alive.

MIRA AND PINKY: Alive?

This one time,

we were playing with Mikku's lucky ball,

and it rolled into that house.

And we never saw it again.

Because the house ate it.

Wow! A house that's alive.

There's no such thing, Pinky.

Chikku, I'm sure your ball

is somewhere in there.

Hi, Papa. Do you know who lives there?

This house, no one has lived

in it for a long time.

Do you think we could go inside

and get the ball back?

Of course, beti, I'll lead the way.

Wait! We're going in the (STAMMERS) house?

Chikku, I know what it's like

to lose a lucky ball.

You don't want to lose yours.

-Trust me.

-(SIGHS) You're right. Mikku.

I have to do this for my lucky ball.

Chikku, we're going to be fine. I promise.

Hmm, I don't see the ball.

We're too late.

The house ate it.

Ooh, wonder what else

the house likes to eat.

There has to be a reasonable

explanation for this.

Don't worry, Chikku,

we're going to find your lucky ball.

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

First, let's look around

and see if we can find any clues.

Just a bunch of dust.

(CHIKKU AND MIKKU SNEEZES)

More dust here.

Hmm, check out the pattern

in the dust on the ground.

It looks like the same one

from your ball, Chikku.

So, Mira, do you think

the ball bounced over here?

Yes, Papa.

But where's my ball now, Mira?

In the house's tummy.

Obviously.

The house has a tummy too?

Wow!

Mikku, houses do not have tummies.

It looks like there's

something else on the ground.

Light blue paint.

It's on my paws.

It's on my foot.

The paint is wet.

That's strange.

Oh, yes. Very, very strange.

Uh, Mira why's it strange?

It means that someone

must have just been here.

Papa, didn't you say the house

has been empty for a long time?

That's correct.

No one has lived here

since before I was born.

Hmm, I wonder if whoever used this paint

also took the ball.

I know. Let's ask the house.

Hello, house.

I'm Pinky, it's very nice to meet you.

Do you know who took the ball?

Huh? No answer.

It must be taking a nap.

MIRA: Look, more paint splatters.

I wonder if someone's upstairs.

We should go check.

We're going up there?

Chikku, remember why you're doing this.

Right.

CHIKKU: Lucky ball, I'm coming for you.

There's light coming from that room.

Maybe whoever has the ball is in there.

Let's check

-Hey!

-Who turned out the lights?

-Someone's on my tail!

-Sorry, Mikku.

Everyone, hang tight.

I'm going to open that window.

That's better

I was just making sure

Mikku and Chikku were okay.

-And we were making sure uncle was okay.

-He's good.

I wonder why the light went out so quickly

when we walked in.

I know who we should ask.

Hello, house. Question.

Did you put out the lights?

Pinky, There's something on your hand.

Ooh, look at that.

It's more wet paint.

And it's the same color

as the paint splatters we found before.

This whole wall has just been painted.

That's odd.

And there's still smoke

coming out of the lantern.

Which means that it was just blown out.

Someone must have been in here

and just left.

Where could they've gone, Mira?

Well, there are two doorways to the room.

We came in this door.

So maybe whoever was in the room

left through that door.

Yes. Yes, that makes sense.

I don't know.

It's all too strange.

ADRIKA: All too strange. All too strange.

Mikku, stop copying me.

It wasn't me. It was Pinky.

It wasn't me.

It was the house.

ADRIKA: It was the house.

It was the house.

-See!

-The house!

It is alive.

ADRIKA: Alive. Alive.

Told ya.

Guys, I'm not sure

the house is talking to us.

Then where is that voice coming from?

I don't know.

But we need to find who it belongs to.

They might have Chikku's ball.

Come on!

Let's follow the voice.

ADRIKA: Follow the voice.

Follow the voice.

I think I heard it that way.

Hello, house. We just want to be friends.

What's your favorite color?

Mine is pink.

ADRIKA: Pink. Pink.

You like pink too?

Then we might actually be best friends.

This is so exciting.

A house cannot be alive.

A house cannot be alive.

"Enter the house," they said.

"Find the ball," they said.

(ALL SCREAM)

Papa.

We didn't find anyone. Did you?

No, we didn't either, beti.

I have an idea.

(CLEARS THROAT) Excuse me, house?

Could you just tell us where you are?

ADRIKA: Where you are? Where you are?

-(CHIKKU AND MIKKU SCREAM)

-What was that?

I don't know,

but I think it's coming from downstairs.

Mira, Mikku and Chikku are right,

There's something strange

going on with this house.

Which means

It's time for us to leave!

ADRIKA: Leave. Leave. Leave.

MIKKU: We heard you, house.

CHIKKU: Loud and clear.

Wait, guys, I think

I know where the sound is coming from.

Mira, the house may have taken

my lucky ball.

And mine.

CHIKKU AND MIKKU: But it's not taking us.

There's a sound coming from over here.

It's a birdhouse.

ADRIKA: Birdhouse. Birdhouse.

Wait, the voice.

It keeps repeating what we say.

You know who else repeats what we say?

Repeats what we say. Repeats what we say.

ALL: Adrika!

Adrika, are you repeating

everything we say?

Repeating everything we say.

See, it was Adrika the whole time.

Also, the house doesn't talk?

It's just the house?

Aw!

I knew there was a perfectly

reasonable explanation. Uh

A house that talks?

That's funny. (CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)

Well, we're out of here.

Mikku, Chikku, the house isn't alive.

-It's just Adrika.

-Adrika?

Someone sure likes to hear herself talk.

-Hey!

-Whoopsies!

Adrika, do you have Chikku's ball?

Chikku's ball. Chikku's ball.

You didn't take the ball?

Didn't take the ball.

Didn't take the ball.

You know who took the ball?

Who took the ball? Who took the ball?

That's what we're asking you.

That's what we're asking you.

You know what, Pinky?

I don't think Adrika

knows where the ball is.

MIKKU: Uh, Mira.

-A little help, please.

-Coming, guys.

Wait a second.

That flower garland

wasn't there when we came in.

It most definitely was not.

But I've seen that garland before.

Let's think this through.

Earlier today, who did we see

with the same flower garland in a crate?

We don't know, Mira.

That's why you're the Royal Detective.

MIRA: It was Ram Singh Ji!

What if Ram Singh Ji was in the house

and hung up the flower garland?

You think Ram Singh Ji has Chikku's ball?

We need to talk to him.

Adrika, do you know where Ram Singh Ji is?

Chai. Chai.

This is no time to talk about chai.

We need to get my lucky ball.

Maybe she means that Ram Singh Ji

went to get some chai.

Yeah! Let's go to the chai shop and see.

MIKKU: Finally.

CHIKKU: That's the best idea

I've heard all day.

MIRA: There's Ram Singh Ji's crate.

But no Ram Singh Ji.

-Where could he be?

-RAM SINGH: Looking for me?

(ALL SCREAM)

Hello, Ram Singh Ji, we were wondering

if you have Chikku's ball?

Describe it, please.

-It's lucky.

-And green.

Is this the ball?

Yes! That's my lucky ball.

I missed you, buddy.

I was tidying the house and picked it up.

The house hasn't been lived in for years,

so I don't think the ball

belonged to anyone.

Why were you cleaning that old house?

Because I just bought it.

I even started painting

and put up a birdhouse

for when Adrika comes to visit.

But, shh, it's a surprise for my family.

-Wow!

-That's amazing.

This is wonderful news, my good man.

We should celebrate.

Let me get you another chai.

RAM SINGH: I won't say no to that.

Mira, thanks for finding my lucky ball.

Any time, Chikku.

-Looks like the case is

-closed.

PINKY: Closed. Closed.

I really love repeating what people say.

I get why Adrika does it.

I get why Adrika does it.

Keep those eyes closed.

No peaking.

You can open them now.

Surprise.

(RAM SINGH'S FAMILY GASPS)

I bought this house for us

and I fixed it up too.

What do you think?

Oh, it's wonderful, dear.

Yay!

I love it.

Now I'll crack this coconut

to bring us luck in our new house.

Come on, let's go inside.

MIRA: I'm so happy for Ram Singh Ji

and his family.

Me too, beti.

It's just so beautiful.

It's just so beautiful.

I can't stop.
