-MIRA: Mira's Musical Mystery Tour.

-(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)

You sound great, guys.

Oh, you haven't seen anything

yet, Mira.

Watch me work.

(SITAR STRUMMING)

(MIRA LAUGHING)

Joshi Sir is going to love this.

He should be here any minute.

He said he had some news.

Can't stop, won't stop.

Oh, yeah!

Hello, hello.

ALL: Joshi Sir.

BOTH: Whoa!

My friends! Your playing was amazing.

You took what I taught you

and made it your own.

(BREATHLESSLY) Thank you.

(BREATHLESSLY) We are so good.

Mira, Mikku, Chikku, meet my mother.

ALL: Namaste.

It's so nice to meet you, Dadi-ji.

You too, my dears.

I have heard wonderful things

about you all.

Now, let me see what I have for you.

Chikku, I smell something wonderful.

Could it be

-MIKKU: Chakri!

-Our favorite snack.

Help yourselves, dears.

BOTH: Thank you.

My mother doesn't leave home

without a bag of chakri

along with the rest of her pantry.

Dadi-ji, is this your first time

visiting Jalpur?

Oh, yes. I'm so excited

to take in the sights, smells,

and taste of your town

while we're still here.

What do you mean

"while you're still here"?

Unfortunately, I have some

sad news, Mira.

I'm leaving Jalpur.

-What?

-BOTH: What?

I'm moving back to my home town

so I can help my mother.

He always takes such good care of me.

Joshi Sir is so important

to everyone here in Jalpur.

We are going to miss you so much.

And I'll miss you too.

Well, we had better get going

so I can finish packing.

Our train leaves tonight.

(SIGHS) I can't believe

Joshi Sir is leaving.

Mira, don't worry I have

the perfect idea.

Me too.

BOTH: We'll convince him to stay.

How?

We're gonna take the roots

of mango lassis

Yum!

We're gonna tempt his nose

With sweet jalebis

We'll decorate his shop

So bright and sparkly

And make cute mongoose faces

Smile and say please

If you left us, we be so blue

Worse than that year of no laddoos

There's only one thing to do

Oh, we can't let him go

Whatever it takes

To make sure he stays

Oh, we can't let him go

We shall tell everyone you know

We're gonna tell him jokes

And be so charming

Do our famous puppet show

Let him ride our bicycles

Yeah, anything so he won't go

We'll give him all of our snacks

And pillows so he can relax

Yeah

How can you argue with that?

We can't let him go!

Guys, Joshi Sir can't stay in

Jalpur. His mother needs him.

You're right.

She has a point, I guess.

We need to find a way to show him

how much he means to us.

Let's think about what he likes.

BOTH: Snacks.

Oh, no, that's us.

Music. He likes music.

That's for sure.

Joshi Sir has taught almost

every kid in town how to play music.

Got to show him

How we've been going

Because of what

He has taught us

Love the music

And how to use it

With all the joy

That he's brought us

We can take a day

We can strum and play

As a special way

To say thank you

We'll fill this town

With our own sweet sounds

Everywhere he goes

Everywhere he goes

Walk down every road

Walk down every road

Let's show him that we care

His song is in the air

We'll bring the music everywhere

We'll bring the music everywhere

First we'll play at the tambourine shop

-I've got my kanjira

-Drumming time.

Garden Square for the second stop

We'll play the song he taught us.

We can be the next ones to go

We'll play on the waterfront.

We'll need a stage

For a goodbye show

BOTH: And we'll go get

Joshi Sir's mother.

Let's do this, people!

Got to show him

How we've been going

Because of what he has taught us

Love the music and how to use it

With Garden Square

For the second stop

Let's show him that we care

Let's show him that we care

His song is in the air

We'll bring the music everywhere

Music everywhere

Hey, Neel. Will you come to our

farewell concert for Joshi Sir?

Sure, Mira. I heard he was leaving.

That's so sad.

He's such a great Whoa!

Nice catch, Mira.

Sure thing. Good luck fixing

your flycycle, Neel.

We'll see you

at the goodbye concert.

Sounds good.

Joshi Sir, before you go,

I would like to take you

and your mother on a musical

tour through Jalpur.

The whole town's going to be

full of music and surprises just for you.

Wow, Mira.

That's sounds wonderful.

Let me just load up this last box.

MIKKU AND CHIKKU: Mira.

Mikku, Chikku, I'm glad you're back.

Where's Joshi Sir's mother?

Yes, about that

Jalpur, we have a problem.

We may have lost her.

What do you mean?

Your favorite mongooses took her

for a quick stop at the sweet shop.

Let me guess, you got

a little distracted there?

We turned around and she was gone.

Agh! We really messed up this time.

She can't miss the musical tour

or the big goodbye concert.

Don't worry, guys, we'll find her.

We are on the case.

Hang on, we don't have time

for that song.

There are too many other songs

to think about today.

-Then here's your coat.

-We got you, Mira.

Thanks.

Joshi Sir's mother could be anywhere

in Jalpur, so this could take a while.

But we need to get started on

the tour before it gets too late.

Is she thinking

What I think she's thinking?

I'll just have to do both.

I was afraid of that.

Not good, people.

Uh, Mira we've heard you say that before.

And, in case you forgot,

it hasn't worked out so well.

You're right. It's better if someone else

leads the tour so I can focus

on solving the mystery.

Oh! Oh! Pari and I can lead the tour.

It'll give me a chance

to show up my bansuri skills.

Baa!

And Pari's singing skills.

That would be great, Pinky.

You can take my rickshaw.

We'll catch up to you as soon

as we find Joshi Sir's mother.

Joshi Sir, the musical mystery tour

is departing now.

I'm all ready, Pinky.

Good, then just sit back and enjoy

my beautiful bansuri playing.

-(PLAYS A TUNE)

-Pinky,

your volume control is impressive,

but maybe just focus on driving for now.

Oh, yeah. Smart choice.

Guys, since you last saw

Joshi Sir's mother at the sweet shop,

let's check there for clues.

No argument from me.

Sweet shop, here we come.

PINKY: And for our first stop

on your musical tour,

I present Sadia and Dhruv.

Baa!

Joshi Sir, thank you so much

for being our teacher.

Jalpur is not going to be

the same without you.

To show our appreciation,

we'd like to play a duet you taught us.

Oh, wow! What a treat.

(PLAYING MUSIC)

MIRA: Okay, Joshi Sir is

enjoying his first stop on the tour.

Let's look for clues.

Absolutely, Mira.

Just as soon as we have a quick snack.

-BOTH: Chakri!

-Guys, wait.

Don't eat the evidence.

Joshi Sir's mother had a bag

of chakri just like this.

Maybe these crumbs fell out of her purse.

Look there's a trail of them.

-They could lead right to her.

-MIRA: Come on.

(HORN HONKING)

Oh, look, Joshi Sir is

at the second stop on the tour.

Dimple, Kamala.

Thanks to all of your practicing,

you have perfected that raag.

And you played it from the heart.

I am so thrilled and touched.

BOTH: Thank you, Joshi Sir.

(PLAYING MUSIC)

Psst. Mira, did you find

Joshi Sir's mother?

Not yet. Can you take Joshi Sir

to the next stop?

-We'll catch up.

-Sure.

Want us to play it again, Joshi Sir?

And that's a wrap on Dimple and Kamala.

Next stop, let's go.

Aah! Aah!

Guys, look, more chakri crumbs.

Let's keep following the trail.

On it.

MIKKU: Careful, goats.

CHIKKU: Coming through,

please don't eat our trail.

Hey, the trail of crumbs ends here.

Mira, that's not a crumb.

Yeah don't try to eat it, seriously.

Guys, I know it's a wrench,

and I've seen it somewhere before.

-(BELL TOLLING)

-MIKKU: Oh, no. Hear that?

It's almost time for the big

goodbye show for Joshi Sir.

And we still haven't found his mother.

Look, Joshi Sir is right over there,

listening to Meena and Sandeep.

Psst. Pinky, I need you to stall

a little longer.

No problem.

Okay. Meena and Sandeep,

one more time.

-From the top.

-An encore? I'll take it.

Now, where was I?

You were saying,

"Guys, I know it's a wrench."

"And I've seen it somewhere before."

Also, Mira, I think you were

about to say

BOTH: Let's think this through.

That's right. We saw this wrench

when Neel was fixing his flycycle.

We've looked all around Jalpur

for Dadi-ji,

but we haven't looked above Jalpur.

So what if Neel took her for

a tour of Jalpur from the sky?

We need to get somewhere up high

so we can look for them.

And I know just where to go.

-Mira was right.

-There she is.

-We're over here.

-Dadi-ji!

Look at us!

Oh.

Hi, Mira.

Neel, it's almost time for the show.

Meet us by the stage.

Got it!

Hello, dear.

Dadi-ji, we're so happy to see you.

We thought we lost you.

Me? I was just enjoying

an exhilarating bird's-eye view

of majestic Jalpur

with my new friend Prince Neel.

-(HORN HONKING)

-JOSHI: Mother,

there you are.

My mother loves to explore

and she always returns with

a long story and five new friends.

It's true, I'm a very social person.

-GIRL: Hello, again.

-Namaste.

So nice to see you.

Dadi-ji, I think you made

friends with the whole town.

Mira, you've made my last day in

Jalpur so wonderful.

What's better than a town full of music?

Well, we have

one more surprise for you.

Please have a seat,

because it's showtime.

Hi, everyone,

and thank you for coming to the

goodbye concert for Joshi Sir,

our amazing music teacher.

(ALL CHEERING)

Joshi Sir, this song is for you.

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

Once in a while

Someone special comes along

Who shows you how it's done

How to keep the rhythm strong

No matter what

They dedicate the time

They're here to cheer you on

And want to help you shine

A teacher always shows you the way

And always knows the right thing to say

Like you always say

Play from the heart

Build the type of joy

Make the music ours

And keep on dancing

We'll thank you with a song

So everyone can hear

We shout it loud and clear

Just play it from the heart

Oh, yeah

Play it from the heart

Joshi Sir, will you join us

on stage, please?

Of course.

We are so lucky that you are our guru.

Thank you for your years of

dedication, patience and creativity.

Mira, it has been my greatest joy.

Joshi Sir, please accept

this farewell present

as a token of our appreciation.

This is so beautiful.

Thank you, Priya.

I will miss you all, very, very

Excuse me, I have something to say.

After seeing how much

the town loves my son,

I have realized that I can't

let him leave.

Hey, that was our idea.

What do you mean?

Beta, this town is a part of you

and you are such an important

part of this town.

I see how much you all love him.

And I love them.

I had such a wonderful time

meeting everyone

that I've decided to move to Jalpur.

-(ALL GASP)

-Mother, that's wonderful!

And it means I can stay.

(ALL CHEERING)

Dadi-ji, welcome to your new home.

(ALL CHEERING)

MIRA: The Case of the Mystery Mehfil.

Mikku, Chikku, where are you?

Hi, Kamala,

have you seen Mikku and Chikku?

Not since they were here

and Chikku ordered these lassis.

He said he needed an extra one

as inspiration for his poem.

Poem, huh? Okay, thanks, Kamala.

Sure, Mira.

Mongoose, snack lover, friend.

Mikku, Chikku, there you are.

Mira, you have to hear Chikku's poem.

It is genius.

I'm excited to hear it, but first,

here you go, Chikku, your lassi,

and your other lassi.

Thanks, Mira.

Ah!

That's just the inspiration I needed.

Ooh! Okay, here's my poem.

I am a mongoose

A snack lover and a friend

Friendship is super special

It knows no end

Oh, Mikku, this is

where you say, "Waah!"

Got it. Wait, what does that mean?

It means "Wow," "Great," "Wonderful."

Say it after you hear something you love.

Mira, show him how it's done.

Waah, Chikku, waah!

That was great.

What's the poem for?

Today's Jalpur's annual

mehfil-e-shaiyari

where everyone

gets together to hear shaiyars

That's poets.

share their shaiyari.

That's their poems.

Wow, that's amazing.

Yeah! And this year,

my brother Chikku

is going to perform at the mehfil

in front of everyone.

Okay, okay, Mira gets it.

You can stop now.

You're making me nervous.

I understand you're nervous,

Chikku, but you'll be great.

Now you don't understand, Mira.

Sher the shaiyar is going to be there.

Who's that?

WOMAN: I can't believe he's there.

CHIKKU: Ah! Mira, that's him.

Sher the shaiyar.

My most favorite poet of all time is here!

Oh, Jalpur, thank you. You're too kind.

You welcome is good

for my heart and mind.

ALL: Waah! Waah! Waah!

Waah! Waah! What a poet!

You have to talk to him.

Talk to him?

Adaab, Sher-ji. I'm Mira.

And I am Mikku. You have to meet

my brother Chikku.

He's got great taste in snacks,

he's the best poet I know.

And he is a big fan of yours.

You're gonna love him.

With the tale you have told,

I must meet this elusive mongoose.

For there must not be another

like Chikku the mongoose.

ALL: Waah! Waah! Waah! Waah!

He is right here.

Chikku? Where'd he go?

Alas, for now, we will have to let it be

Will we meet at today's mehfil?

That we shall see.

Oh, we'll be there.

I love the lion on his vest.

Fun fact, Mira. Sher means lion.

It's his shaiyar name.

Chikku, where were you?

I was busy

being too nervous to talk to Sher-ji.

(NERVOUS CHUCKLE)

Who am I kidding?

I can't perform my poem

in front of him at the mehfil.

Chikku, I know you can do it,

and we'll be there to support you.

That's right. So where's this

mehfil happening?

There is no location on the flyer.

Yeah. Sher-ji likes to keep

his mehfils a mystery.

Part of the fun is finding

where they're gonna be.

Who do we know that solves mysteries?

Who could it be? Hmm.

My mind is drawing a blank.

Uh, guys?

I know. Mira, you're pretty good

at solving mysteries.

-Will you help?

-(CHUCKLES)

I'd be more than happy to.

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

-Whoo!

-Mm.

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 see if the flyer

has any clues.

There's a map of Jalpur on the back.

That means the mehfil could be

happening anywhere in town.

Of the places I have traveled

There is one quite unique

Jalpur, you are the inspiration

this poet does seek

Waah! Waah! Waah!

Chikku, did you just make that up?

Nope, it's from Sher-ji's poem

about Jalpur.

He is a travelling poet, so all

his poetry is about the places he's been.

So maybe there's a clue in his poem.

What are the next lines?

In Jalpur I find myself

lost in a world of blue

It can feel like a dream

But no, it is quite true

"A world of blue."

What could be so blue?

I know. The sky.

Come on, Mikku, they don't have

mehfils in the sky.

It's obvious he's talking about the river.

Actually, I think he's talking

about the Blue City.

Oh, maybe the mehfil's

happening there.

Come on, let's go check it out.

Okay, this is the Blue City.

Hey, look. Mira has a flyer too.

Hi, Mira. Are you also looking

for the mehfil?

Yes. In fact, we are.

We're so happy you're here.

Sadia and I are totally lost.

All we know is that Sher-ji

is staying with the Jafferys.

Maybe they can tell us

where the mehfil is.

Uncle, Aunty.

No one's home.

Oh! We're never

gonna find the mehfil.

Wait, there's a box here

with a line on it,

just like the ones on the flyer.

Maybe he left this box here as a clue.

Huh.

Look at these strings.

Strings? How are they a clue?

I don't know, but let's hang on to them.

What now, Mira?

It's almost time for the mehfil.

I don't want to miss

Chikku's performance.

(NERVOUS CHUCKLE)

Yeah. No. No. No.

I don't want to miss my performance.

(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)

Chikku, what are the next two lines

of Sher-ji's poem about Jalpur?

I am happiest in the place

where the goats run free

Jalpur brings a smile to my face

What a sight to see

ALL: Waah! Waah! Waah!

Hmm. It sounds like we need to

find a place where the goats run free.

I know! Goat Alley.

And it is right here

on the map. Let's go.

ALL: Yeah!

The mehfil is in Goat Alley?

With Sher the shaiyar,

anything is possible.

-(GOATS BLEATING)

-Uh, Mira.

CHIKKU: I don't think

the mehfil's happening here.

Uh, goats.

No, this is not food.

Stop. Stop. Stop.

This is one of the finest bansuris

I have in my shop

MIRA: Joshi Sir?

Oh, Mira, hello.

A little help here, please.

BOTH: Mira, we got this.

This way, goats.

CHIKKU: Giddyup, goats!

Mikku, Chikku, thank you.

Joshi Sir, are you trying to

find the mehfil too?

Yes. I love poetry.

I went to the Blue City and then

came here, but I don't see anything.

Except for a bunch of goats.

Maybe we can find a clue.

Hmm. There's a pouch

on that goat's collar

and there's another picture

of a lion on it.

Hi, cutie. Do you mind if I take

this from your collar?

-(BLEATS)

-Thank you.

-What is it?

-What's inside, Mira?

Yarn.

What does yarn

have to do with the mehfil?

I'm not sure,

but it could be a clue.

Mira, what are we going to do?

Yeah, the mehfil is starting soon.

And we still don't know

where this is happening.

I am not missing

Chikku's big moment.

(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)

Yeah, about that.

Don't worry, everyone,

we'll find it.

Chikku, what are the next lines

of Sher-ji's poem?

I wander, I do

But I wonder where

the plant roots someday

The next time I pass through Jalpur

Maybe I just might stay

(GOATS BLEATING)

ALL: Waah! Waah! Waah! Waah!

Hmm, roots. What has roots?

A tree, like the banyan tree.

Maybe the mehfil is happening there.

Let's go check it out.

There's nothing here, Mira.

Except for this.

It's a stuffed lion.

Hey, I think I know

where the mehfil is happening.

ALL: You do?

Yes. Let's think this through.

While we were looking

for the mehfil, we found gold strings,

yarn and a stuffed lion.

If you put them all together,

they make a lion puppet.

So maybe the mehfil

is happening at the puppet shop.

Well, then, what are we waiting for?

To the puppet shop.

ALL: Yes!

Whoa!

So many people.

-Wow.

-What's everyone doing here?

They must be looking for the mehfil too.

Attention, citizens of Jalpur.

Follow my good brother Chikku

to the mehfil.

Behold, behind these doors is

Nobody! Absolutely nobody.

-Where's the mehfil?

-(ALL EXCLAIMING)

-It's not here either?

-This can't be.

Mira, what are we gonna do now?

Chikku, does the poem have more lines?

Yes, two more.

But for now, I will make do

with the best view from above

Because when this Sher is in Jalpur

He feels only love

ALL: Waah! Waah! Waah! Waah!

The best view from above?

Where's the best view from above?

(ALL CHATTERING)

I know. The rooftop.

You heard Mira, people.

Chalo, chalo, let's go.

Hey, wait, that's what I say.

MIKKU: We found it.

(ALL EXCLAIMING)

Welcome. How marvelous,

the mehfil you've found

I'm humbled as your love

of poetry is profound

ALL: Waah! Waah! Waah!

Sher-ji, we found the mehfil

because Chikku knows

your poetry so well.

Is that so?

Then everyone please sit.

It is time for our first shaiyar.

Chikku, please share your shaiyari.

The greatest gift from a shaiyar.

ALL: Waah! Waah! Waah!

Now, up there?

In front of everyone?

Chikku, you're going to be amazing.

Yeah. Your poem is even better

than a crispy samosa.

(SIGHS)

Mira, Mikku, I got this.

Uh, I, uh

There's so many faces.

(CLEARS THROAT)

I am a mongoose

A snack lover and a friend

Friendship is super special

It knows no end

Laddoos and samosas are tasty

This we all know

But boy, are they yummy

When you share them with a pal

Whoa

What luck

My buddies solve cases

Dance and laugh with me

People of Jalpur, here with you

Is always where I want to be

So, if you ever need

an extra paw or a tail

I have one to lend

You can always call on me, Chikku

I'll be your friend

ALL: Waah! Waah! Waah!

Kya baat hai!

Waah, bhai, waah, Chikku.

Your words, they are superb,

splendid, sublime

What an honor to hear the

greatest mongoose poet of our time

That's my brother, right here,

this guy, my brother.

I, I (SIGHS WEARILY)

Got to show him

How we've been going

Because of what he has taught us

Love the music and how to use it

With all the joy that he's brought us

We can take a day

We can strum and play

As a special way to say thank you

We'll fill this town

With our own sweet sound

Everywhere he goes

Everywhere he goes

Walk down every road

Walk down every road

Let's show him that we care

His song is in the air

We'll bring the music everywhere
