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 Dandiya Dance Mystery.

Nice. Let's try again, Ranjeet.

Sure.

I'm so excited

for the dandiya dance tonight.

I'm excited, too. Mira.

Hi, Priya. Hi, Manjeet.

I love your matching pair of dandiya.

Yours are great, too.

I came up with a color scheme.

Red and gold, make a real statement.

And it was my idea to add

BOTH: Sparkle?

(CHUCKLES) How'd you know?

Okay, we're here, we're here.

Hi, Meena. Hi, Sandeep.

Hi. Everyone

I have a very important

announcement to make.

Meena has an announcement.

Gather around, people, gather around.

Today is a very big day

for Sandeep because

This is my first dandiya dance.

You're first?

-That's amazing!

-Ooh.

-I remember mine.

-Me, too.

-Bright lights!

-Itchy clothes.

Dropping my sticks

on my dance partner's toes.

-Sorry, Priya.

-(CHUCKLES) It's okay. Manjeet.

Can you believe it, Chikku?

His first dandiya dance.

Where does the time go?

They grow up so fast.

Mikku, Chikku,

you're getting paw prints

on my dance partner's beautiful clothes.

In honor of this big moment

for Sandeep and me,

as his dance partner and coach,

I made a very special pair of dandiya.

Wow, Meena!

They're so great. Thank you.

Magnificent!

Very fancy!

I love the green pom-poms.

I know right?

They're imported from the south.

Imported?

That sounds really fancy.

She means my dad bought them

on one of his work trips.

MIRA: Look, everyone,

the aunties are here.

That means we must be starting soon.

Time for a pre-dance warm-up, people.

-Spin, spin, spin.

-Spin, spin.

-Too much spin!

-(GRUNTING)

Wow! Look at the aunties!

(CHUCKLES) And I thought we were excited.

Wonderful.

Ladies, the queen of dandiya has arrived.

Now that my mom is here,

it's going to get really good.

-Okay, ladies watch me work.

-Wow, love that style.

You still got it.

Wait till you see what we've got.

These kids don't have anything on us.

That's right,

they can learn a lot from us oldies.

Who are you calling old?

(CHUCKLES) It's so great.

It's even better than I thought.

Sandeep, we should practice

the big twirl I taught you.

Okay, Meena, I'm ready

-Oh, lovely.

-And twirl.

Wonderful! Just wonderful.

Oh! (GROANS)

I messed up the big twirl.

That's okay, Sandeep,

you'll get it next time.

It's hard to focus with so much noise

and so many people around.

It just takes practice.

Remember, it's all about

the wrist motion and your attitude.

Like me!

Children, please hurry over.

Now, please.

-Coming, Mommy.

-Okay, Auntie Pushpa.

-Yes, Mommy!

-On our way.

The big event starts in half an hour

and there is still so much to do.

We'll help you, Auntie Pushpa.

Thank you, Mira darling.

Let's see

Mr. Puri will be dropping off food

from the dhaba.

I will need two volunteers

to arrange it nicely on the tables.

-Pick me! Pick me!

-Food job.

-Thank you, Priya and Ranjeet.

-BOTH: Oh!

PUSHPA: I also need

more decorations from the boutique.

A Pushpa event is simply incomplete

without the most fabulous decorations.

That's why you need me, Mommy.

Sandeep, wanna help me decorate?

Sandeep! Where's Sandeep?

I don't know.

-Sandeep.

-Are you in here, buddy?

Mira, I can't be in

the dandiya dance without Sandeep.

We have to find him.

Don't worry.

We'll find Sandeep.

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

Meena, what were you doing

when you last saw Sandeep?

We were practicing the dance.

Well, he was practicing.

I was giving him my expert advice.

What happened after that?

Mommy called us over for help.

When I turned around,

Sandeep was gone.

I don't understand.

Why would he leave?

Hmm. Auntie Pushpa said

Mr. Puri was going to bring

food from the dhaba.

I wonder if Sandeep

went to go help.

The dhaba?

BOTH: Where snacks are born!

Priya, I need to help Meena

look for Sandeep.

I'll stay here and help my mom

with the food and decorations.

BOTH: We'll help, too.

Thanks, everyone.

Okay, let's head to the dhaba.

Sandeep, we are coming to get you.

Uncle, we're here on a new case.

The case of the missing samosas.

Found them, case closed.

That the fastest

we've ever solved a case.

We're excellent detectives.

Mikku, Chikku, focus.

Hi, girls, are you excited

for the big dance?

Sandeep has been

talking about it all week.

Really! Because we can't find him.

We thought maybe he came here

to help bring the food for the party.

He was here a little while ago.

But he didn't say anything

about picking up food.

I really hope

he didn't come here to eat a snack.

You don't wanna eat

right before a big dance.

Because of all that twirling.

BOTH: Uh What?

Mr. Puri, where is Sandeep now?

I'm not sure.

He said something about

looking for a quiet spot.

Okay, thanks.

We'll look around the dhaba.

I already looked, he's not here.

This is a disaster.

-We're going to find him, Meena.

-(MUNCHING)

Did you hear that sound?

It came from the back.

It must be Sandeep.

(YELLING) Sandeep! Sandeep!

Oh! It's just Raj.

(CLUCKS)

Raj, as happy as you are to see us,

we are not here to socialize.

No time for chitchat, Raj.

Sorry, buddy, we gotta find Sandeep.

Mira, he's not here.

Can we just go already?

Wait, what's this?

Looks like a green pom-pom.

That's one of the pom-poms,

I put on Sandeep's sticks.

Are you sure, Meena?

Mira, I know an imported pom-pom

when I see one.

Since we found one of Sandeep's pom-poms,

that means

he must have been here.

But what's the pom-pom

doing on the ground?

And why would Sandeep

come to the back of the dhaba?

Yeah, the best snacks are in the front.

No offence, Raj.

(CLUCKS ANGRILY)

Let's try asking if anyone

around the dhaba has seen Sandeep.

Your food is ready, Mrs. Kapadia.

Thank you, Mr. Puri.

Kids, I have a message from Pushpa.

She'd like you

to come back so we can start.

Now? We can't.

We're looking for Sandeep.

Why, I just saw him on my way over here.

ALL: You did?

He was in the Garden Square.

ALL: He was?

Did he happen to say where he was going?

He muttered something

about looking for a quiet spot.

He said that before to Mr. Puri.

And he was holding

a stunning pair of dandiya.

Thank you, Auntie. I made them.

And it took many, many hours,

between the painting, drying,

and don't even get me started

on the gluing.

Lovely, dear.

Well, I'll see you back at the waterfront.

-Hurry girls.

-We will.

Why would Sandeep be walking

through the Garden Square?

Maybe he was headed back to the boutique

to help get the decorations.

Let's see if we can catch him. Come on.

Sandeep.

(SCREAMING) Sandeep!

Where are you, buddy?

Whoa!

Hey, cart! Come back with Chikku.

I'm gonna save you!

Whoa! (WHOOPING)

(BOTH SCREAMING)

BOTH: Whoa!

(BOTH WHOOPING)

(BLEATS)

Hello, Pari.

(BLEATS)

MIRA: Guys, I found something.

Did you find Sandeep?

Oh. It's just Pari.

Mira, we are not looking for a goat.

But, look, I found another green pom-pom.

It matches the one

we found behind the dhaba.

So, Sandeep must have been here, too.

-And we missed him again?

-(BLEATS)

Pari, come back with that pom-pom!

CHIKKU: That is not a toy.

I repeat not a toy, Pari.

(BLEATS)

Pari, let go!

BOTH: Whoa!

(BOTH WHOOPING)

(PARI BLEATS)

Whoa! Mira, Meena.

There you are.

Mommy says we need to get started.

But we still haven't found Sandeep.

It's no use, Mira.

We'll never find him in time.

(GROANS) Now, Sandeep

is going to miss his first dandiya dance.

And I don't have a dance partner.

Um Meena.

We have an idea.

Oh, no!

(BOTH GRUNTING)

BOTH: We'll be your dance partner.

Mira, sticks please.

Um

I guess I could try it.

Great. I can't even get my twirl right.

And now the pom-pom fell off.

Not the imported pom-pom.

Salt in the wound.

Salt in the wound.

Wait, I think I know

what Sandeep is doing.

BOTH: You do?

Let's think this through.

When Meena tried to twirl

her sticks and dropped one,

a pom-pom fell off.

What if Sandeep was practicing his twirls

and dropped his sticks?

Then, the pom-poms could have fallen off.

That would explain

why we found two of them.

Um, so how exactly

is that going to help us find him?

Because it means that Sandeep

might still be practicing somewhere.

Meena, can you think of

any other quiet spots

Sandeep might go to practice his twirl?

There's one quiet spot

I took him to practice.

The rooftop of the music shop.

Priya, can you ask Auntie Pushpa

to delay a little longer.

We'll be there soon.

I'll go tell her right now.

We need to check the roof

of the music shop.

Chalo, chalo! Let's go!

MEENA: Sandeep, we're coming!

I can do this. Attitude, wrist motion.

-Sandeep!

-There he is!

Oh, not again.

Sandeep, I'm so happy to see you.

We've been looking all over for you.

Sorry, I wanted to find

a quiet spot to practice my twirls.

But I kept getting interrupted.

Why didn't you ask me to come with you?

I wanted to practice

some extra twirls by myself.

So, I can be a great dance partner

just like you, Meena.

You don't have to worry

about doing perfect twirls, Sandeep.

Yeah, we're all dancing

to have a good time.

And with me,

you're going to have a fabulous time.

Thanks, Meena.

Okay, I'm ready now.

BOTH: Then let's get

the dance started.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

Hey, Sandeep,

it's time for your big twirl.

Remember what I taught you?

Wrist motion and attitude.

You've got this.

-Yes!

-(ALL CHEERING)

-All right!

-Good job!

I knew you could do it, Sandeep.

-BOTH: Yeah!

-(PARI BLEATING)

CHIKKU: Hey, Raj!

Come back with our sticks.

MIKKU: Not cool, Pari. Not cool!

MIRA: The Case of the Funky Fountain.

I'm so excited for Jalpur's

new sculpture garden.

I know. I've been waiting

for it to open for so long.

This is a great sculpture.

The contours, the symmetry, the texture.

Simply magnificent.

Very round.

This is a pillar, Mikku and Chikku.

The sculptures are all inside.

Hello, Mr. Burman.

Manya said we should come

for a sneak peek of your sculpture garden

before the opening later on.

Of course, Mira.

I'll show you around.

-(HORSES NEIGH)

-Oh, the royal carriage.

It's so royal!

(HORSES NEIGH)

MIKKU AND CHIKKU: Prince Veer!

Those shoes are so shiny.

Too shiny!

Hi, Prince Veer.

I really like your shoes.

Thank you, Mira. They were a gift

from my mother, the Queen.

Good morning Mr. Burman.

Could you please have these art supplies

sent to the palace?

That's a long list, Prince Veer.

It's even longer than our snack list.

Not a problem. I'll send these supplies

right away, Your Highness.

Thank you.

Now I must head back to the palace.

It's a busy, busy day.

-ALL: Bye, Prince Veer.

-(HORSE NEIGHS)

It looks like Veer

is working on a big art project.

Very big.

Mira, I have to get these supplies

to the palace.

Please, go on back.

-Manya can show you around.

-Thanks, Uncle.

Look at all these beautiful sculptures!

Mira! Mira! Look at me.

I'm a sculpture.

You look great, Mikku.

Mira, look at me.

I'm a sculpture, too.

You're an amazing

peacock sculpture, Chikku.

Mira, could you pass me

that shovel, please?

Sure, Uncle.

Here you go.

The garden looks beautiful.

-Thank you.

-Mira, over here.

-Hi.

-Hi, Manya.

Manya, may I just say,

that you're making

the most excellent sculpture.

Such detail.

Such technique and mastery.

It's very short.

Guys, this is just a stand I made.

The sculpture is going

to be placed on top of it.

BOTH: Oh.

Which sculpture?

Mr. Burman is going

to pick one today at the opening.

Artists from all over Jalpur

have brought their sculptures.

It would be so amazing

to have a sculpture on display here.

Can you build us a stand like this,

so we can be sculptures at home?

(CHUCKLES) Sure, guys.

Manya, everything looks great.

I can't wait

for the opening of the garden.

Me, too. Mr. Burman and I did a great job.

(GRUNTS) Oh, no.

What happened, Uncle?

The water pump

has some kind of goop coming out of it.

You look like a sculpture.

You look like a sculpture, too.

BOTH: Yes.

This goop is clay.

The same clay used to make sculptures.

What is wrong with that water pump?

It suddenly started spraying clay.

BOTH: Whoa!

Nice try, water pump.

You won't get us again.

It's still doing it.

This is terrible.

We need to get the garden

cleaned up before the opening.

I can't clean it without the water.

Don't worry. We'll figure out

what's going on before the opening.

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

I wonder if clay is coming out

of any other water pumps around town.

There's a pump near

Pinky's grooming station.

You're right, Manya.

Let's go take a look.

That is great thinking

because we could use some grooming.

I just want a bath.

I'll be right here

if you need any more great ideas.

Thanks, Manya. Bye, Uncle.

We'll let you know

as soon as we figure out

-what's going on.

-Thank you, Mira.

You are a pretty goat

With a pretty coat

And I'll take you on a pretty boat

So you can have a pretty float

-Hi, Pinky.

-Oh, hi, Mira.

Doesn't Pari look beautiful?

-(BLEATS)

-She looks great.

Did you just give her a bath?

You are a great detective.

How did you know that?

Her fur is still wet.

She's a genius.

That she is.

Pinky, did you notice anything strange

with the pump

when you gave Pari a bath?

Yes, I did.

I saw a strange bird in that tree

and I saw someone wearing a strange hat.

While I was filling up the bucket,

I saw a strange bug near the pump.

Actually, Pinky I was asking

if the water coming out

of the pump was strange?

Oh.

No, it was a regular

old Jalpur water.

Not strange at all. See?

Seriously, not again.

We definitely need a bath now.

Oh, no, Pari.

Now you need another bath, too.

-(BLEATS)

-Pari.

You look like a sculpture of a goat.

The sculpture garden needs more goats.

And mongooses.

It's definitely the same clay

that came out of the pump

in the sculpture garden.

I wonder why it's coming

out of this pump, too.

Uh, how do I give

Pari a bath without water.

Don't worry, Pinky.

We'll figure this out.

Let's see if other people around town

are having the same problem.

Thanks, Mira.

You are a pretty goat

With a goopy-goopy coat

-Let's check the other water pumps.

-(SPLASHING)

Guys? Guys?

MIKKU: Mira, we're stuck.

This stuff is out to get us.

MIRA: Looks like the grate is overflowing

with more of the same clay

we found in the water pumps.

This goop is taking over Jalpur.

It must be stopped.

-Yucky!

-You said it, Chikku.

It looks like the clay

is coming out of all the places

where water usually comes out.

What is going on?

(ELEPHANT TRUMPETING)

Anoop, come back here this instant.

MIKKU AND CHIKKU:

Hi, Ram Singh Ji. Bye, Ram Singh Ji!

Hi, Ram Singh Ji.

-Need some help?

-Yes, please.

-Ram Singh Ji

-BOTH: We got this.

Anoop! Stop in the name of mongooses!

Anoop, buddy, slow down!

RAM SINGH: Anoop, stop!

That was easy.

That's a good baby elephant.

Was that necessary?

What a mess.

-Great job, guys.

-(TRUMPETING)

Mikku, Chikku, thank you for your help.

Anoop, you've had your fun.

It's time to head back to the palace now.

It looks like Anoop is covered

in the same clay

we've been finding all around town.

You will not believe this, Mira,

but the same stuff is coming out

of the outdoor water pumps

and even the palace fountain.

(TRUMPETING)

Anoop, this is not a good thing.

Why's he so happy?

How did Anoop get covered in this clay?

We were giving him a bath

and this goop started spraying everywhere.

All right, Anoop, back to the palace.

Ram Singh Ji, can we come with you?

We're on a case to figure out

where this goop is coming from.

Of course, Mira.

Ram Singh Ji, there is more goop!

I repeat, more goop

on the south side of the palace.

I must go help my fellow guards!

Is he going to fight the goop?

(TRUMPETING)

You said it, buddy.

I'll take over here.

You can help the guards

behind the palace.

Here, Ram Singh Ji!

Thank you, Mira. Where do you think

all of this goop is coming from?

Probably from the same place

where all of Jalpur's water comes from.

Where is that?

The tunnels under the palace.

Mira, there's something floating

in the fountain.

How strange. A shoe.

What's it doing there?

Maybe the guard's shoe fell off.

I can't see what it looks like

because it's covered in clay.

-Mira

-BOTH: We got this.

You can't stop us, goop!

Yeah, we're just going to scrub you off!

It's a golden shoe.

Wait a second,

I've seen this shoe before.

Let's think this through.

We saw gold shoes

earlier today at the sculpture garden.

They belong to

ALL: Prince Veer!

You think Prince Veer knows

why there's goop everywhere?

We need to talk to him.

Chalo, chalo! Let's go!

Uh, Ram Singh Ji, where is Prince Veer?

He has been down in his art studio,

in the basement of the palace.

He said that he is not to be disturbed.

-Thank you.

-Don't worry, Uncle.

We promise not to disturb him.

Prince Veer? Hello?

Anybody here?

(GASPS)

Now this sculpture is a masterpiece.

Look at the intricacy of the curves,

the definition of the limbs

It's a camel.

Veer must be making a sculpture

of a camel.

This one kind of looks like Tinku!

It looks nothing like Tinku.

This one looks like Tinku.

VEER: (GROANS) No, no, no, no!

This sculpture isn't good enough either.

I need to start over.

-Veer?

-(GASPS) Mira,

what are you doing down here?

-We have your shoe, Prince Veer.

-Here.

Ah. Thank you. It must have fallen off

while I was sculpting.

We found it in the palace fountain,

covered in clay.

That's strange.

Veer, have you been putting

your sculptures in the water all day?

Yes. I just want to make

the best sculpture

so Mr. Burman picks mine to go

on the stand in the sculpture garden.

Veer, your sculptures are great.

But they're not perfect.

That's why I have to keep

dissolving them in the water

and trying to make a better one.

But I still don't understand

how the clay and my shoe

ran from down here to up there.

I think I know.

See how that clay

is melting into the water?

-Yes.

-Check out this map

of the tunnels under Jalpur.

These tunnels bring water all over town.

So every time you put

a sculpture in the water,

the clay comes out somewhere in town.

Just like your shoe

came out of the fountain.

What? I had no idea.

And now I made a mess

for the whole town! I must fix this.

There. That's the last bucket of goop.

Everyone, I'm so sorry

about this gooey mess.

My deepest apologies.

Ram Singh Ji,

can you please try the pump now?

It works.

-Wonderful.

-(ALL CHEERING)

MAN: The water is back!

We can take baths again, people!

And everything is cleaned up.

I guess he really did fight the goop.

Nothing gets past Ram Singh Ji.

-Not even goop!

-Love that guard.

-Which means

-BOTH: Case closed!

-(BELL DINGS)

-Guys,

the opening of the sculpture garden

is starting soon.

We need to head over there.

(SIGHS) Well, have a good time.

Enjoy all the many excellent

and perfect sculptures.

Veer, you have to come.

Just pick one of your sculptures to bring.

They're all really good!

We'll be there to support you!

Thank you, Mira. Okay then.

I will see you there.

Who made this camel sculpture?

(WHISPERS) Psst, Prince Veer!

Huh? Oh, it's Uh Mine, Mr. Burman.

This sculpture is fantastic!

The finesse of the lines,

the bold curve of the hump

and the elegance of the snout,

marvelous!

He took the words

right out of my mouth.

It's a camel, all right.

I have made my decision.

This camel sculpture is the one

that shall be displayed on the stand.

ALL: Congratulations, Prince Veer.

Thank you, Mr. Burman.

Thank you, Prince Veer,

for creating such a beautiful work of art.

(TRUMPETING)

Manya, build us a stand.

Mr. Burman,

we're ready to be in the sculpture garden.

Because we're finally a sculpture!

Anoop, you're a genius.

(TRUMPETING)
