Royal Detective ♪
MIRA: Mystery at the Marketplace.
Priya.
Meena.
Where are you two?
-We're here.
-We heard there's some exciting news.
What is it?
We can't take the suspense.
-Seriously, cannot take it.
-MIRA: Hey, guys.
-Hi.
-So, what's the big news?
And why did you ask me to bring my tabla?
Our papa is coming home today!
I painted this for him.
-ALL: Ooh.
-Wow, it's beautiful, Priya.
I can't wait to see Uncle Naveen.
I know, right?
He's been away on a work trip forever.
We're throwing him a welcome home party.
So he knows how much we missed him.
We're going to decorate this whole place.
And make his favorite dessert.
Laddus.
That was my idea.
We're also gonna sing him
a special song we wrote.
So, that's why we asked you
to bring your tabla.
-Will you play with us?
-I'd love to.
-Sounds like a party.
-I'm there.
Oh, there's so much to do.
Get fruit and decorations from the market,
finish preparing my five-course meal,
look effortlessly beautiful.
How about we go to the market for you,
Auntie Pushpa.
Oh, that would be such a help,
my sweet niece. Here's the list.
(CHIKKU AND MIKKU GRUNT)
Okay, then.
We should probably split this up.
I'll handle everything
we need for the laddus,
since it was my idea to make them.
Meena, you'll need to get more
of this delicious cinnamon sugar.
It makes the laddus
Extra special.
Just the way Papa likes them.
I know, Mommy, I'll get more.
Oh, make sure you get it from Mr. Khan
with the purple bags like this.
He has the best spices.
-Thank you, darlings.
-Let's go.
-MIRA: Bye.
-PRIYA: Be back soon.
Oh, I forgot to invite my brother.
So much to do, so much to do.
Looks like they're
giving out fruit samples today, Chikku.
Well, then we better sample them
and see just how yummy they are.
Meena, there's Mr. Khan's spice shop.
Right. He has the cinnamon sugar.
Let's meet back here.
-See you soon.
-Bye.
Guess what, Dhruv?
My dad's coming home today.
Hey, that's great, Meena.
I should really get him a gift.
So he knows how much I missed him.
Oh, I bet he'd love
one of those coin purses. (GASPS)
And those shoes
and a pen.
I have to get him a pen.
Ooh, look at that cup.
(CHICKENS CLUCK)
Okay, I got the lanterns.
And I got food and flowers. Where's Meena?
Coming. I'm coming.
What's all that stuff?
I got gifts for Papa.
Check out this coin purse and this pen.
Oh, and wait till you see these shoes.
And you know what rhymes with shoes?
Laddus!
Let's go make 'em.
-Wait. I forgot the cinnamon sugar.
-BOTH: What?
Meena, that was the one thing
you were supposed to get.
-I can't believe I did that.
-It's okay.
We can go back. Come on.
MIRA: This is his shop.
(SCOFFS) It's locked up.
Oh, no. Where is he?
I can't make Papa's favorite laddus
without the cinnamon sugar.
-Disaster.
-Say it isn't so.
Don't worry, Meena, we will find him.
We're on the case.

We're on the case
We're on the case ♪
Mira, how are we going to find Mr. Khan?
Hmm, let's think.
All the other shops are still open.
So, there must be a reason
why Mr. Khan decided to close early.
Maybe someone
who bought spices from him knows.
But how can we tell who bought spices?
Meena, do you still have
the empty spice bag your mom gave you?
Yes, it's right here.
Okay, if we see
anyone with a spice bag like this,
we'll know they got spices from Mr. Khan.
-That's our girl.
-She's a genius.
And maybe he talked
to them about where he's going.
-Good plan, Mira.
-(GASPS)
MIRA: I see a spice bag
at the flower stand.
Let's go talk to Dhruv.
-Hi, Dhruv. We're on a case and
-We need to find Mr. Khan fast.
Do you know where he is?
Do you have any idea?
Um I don't.
Meena, let Mira handle this, please?
We noticed that you have
a spice bag from his shop.
Yes, Mira, I bought some
spices from him today.
Oh, that's interesting, Auntie.
Did Mr. Khan say
anything about why he was closing early?
Yes, he said he was going to have
a special day out with his family.
Did he say where they were going?
No, he didn't. All I know is,
he was in a big rush
to get food at Mr. Puri's dhaba.
-Maybe we can still catch him.
-Thank you, Auntie.
Mr. Puri's dhaba?
That restaurant is one
of my favorite places to investigate.
Yes, we will need to do
a thorough investigation of the menu.
Meena, let Mira peddle, please.
She shouldn't bike when she's upset.
I heard that.
Hello, girls. What can I do for you?
We're on a new case, Uncle.
We're looking for Mr. Khan.
Oh, really? He was just here.
Ugh! We missed him again.
He wasn't here long. He ordered some food
and took it on the go.
He was in such a hurry,
he left behind one of the food bags.
-Don't worry, Uncle.
-We won't let any
of your delicious food go to waste.
Did he say where he was headed?
Yes, the kite shop.
Great. We can bring him his food.
-Right, guys?
-Sure, Mira.
Wasn't where I was going with that,
but okay.
Thank you, Mira.
Good luck finding Mr. Khan.
We can't miss him again.
We need that cinnamon sugar. Hurry.
Wait here, guys, and keep an eye out.
-Yes, we will guard the food.
-With our lives.
She meant, keep an eye out for Mr. Khan.
In case we meet him here.
Don't bother. We just missed him.
Again? This is getting ridiculous.
I asked inside.
They have no idea where he went.
-Did he buy a kite?
-Mira, I can't think about
kites right now. I need cinnamon sugar.
It could be a clue, Meena.
Yes, he bought a kite,
but they don't know where he went.
Should've gotten the cinnamon sugar
before I got all those gifts.
Then we wouldn't have this problem.
You wanted to do something nice
for your father, Meena.
I think he'll really like
the stuff you got.
No one can pick out gifts like you can.
But we can't keep running all
over town looking for Mr. Khan.
Papa's gonna be home soon
and we need to decorate and cook.
(GIGGLES)
There must be a way to find him
and still have time
to get ready for the party.
Let's think this through.
We know Mr. Khan is having
a special day out with his family.
He picked up some food to go
and then bought a kite.
What would a family do together
where they bring food and a kite?
CHIKKU AND MIKKU: Have a picnic.
MIRA: Exactly, and where's
the perfect place
to have a picnic and fly kites?
ALL: The park!
Right. Let's see if we can find him there.
Oh, I really hope he's there.
(BOY CHUCKLES)
MR. KHAN: Release more string, beta.
(LAUGHS)
That's it.
-There he is.
-ALL: Yes!
MIRA: Mr. Khan,
we're so happy we found you.
Hello, girls. What can I do for you?
I really need to get
your special cinnamon sugar.
I'm making laddus for my papa.
Sounds delicious, Meena.
And you came all this way
for my cinnamon sugar?
-We sure did.
-Yours is the best.
Are you going to have
to go back to your shop to get it?
I know you're enjoying family time.
That is very thoughtful of you.
But I should have
some extra cinnamon sugar in my bag.
I always carry some spices with me.
Let me check.
-Please have cinnamon sugar.
-Oh, please, please, please, please.
Ah, here it is.
-ALL: Yes.
-CHIKKU AND MIKKU: Yahoo!
How much do I owe you, Mr. Khan?
You came all the way here
for my cinnamon sugar.
Please accept it as a gift.
(EXCLAIMS) I've never been so happy
to see a spice bag in my life.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
-My pleasure, Meena.
-I almost forgot.
Mr. Khan, we have some food
you left behind at the dhaba.
It might be a little cold by now.
Oh, we have far too much food
at the picnic already.
I'm not sure we can eat it.
Oh, but we can.
We accept the challenge.
You are most welcome to it,
little friends.
BOTH: Victory. (MUNCHING)
Mikku, Chikku, come on, we have to go.
-Go?
-We're a little busy right now.
I bet Meena's going
to need some taste testers for her laddus.
-Say no more.
-You had me at "Laddus".
I hear footsteps. They're coming.
Places, people. Places.
Everyone, hide.
ALL: Surprise!
(GASPS) Oh, my. What a wonderful surprise.
-BOTH: Papa.
-(GRUNTS)
We missed you so much.
(SIGHS) I missed you, too.
Welcome home, Uncle Naveen.
Oh, Mira, it's so good to see you.
Naveen, the girls made
something special for you.
Laddus.
(EXCLAIMS) My favorite dessert
in the entire world.
Mmm. Delicious.
And you made it with cinnamon sugar?
-You know that makes it
-BOTH: Extra special.
It was Meena's idea to make them, Papa.
And everyone helped me.
Especially Mira.
It was my pleasure, Meena.
Mira is an excellent helper.
-And we are excellent laddu eaters.
-It's a gift.
Uncle Naveen, Meena and Priya
wrote you a special song.
(GASPS) Oh, my.
(PLAYING TABLA)
BOTH: Aye, aye, aye, aye
Aye, aye, aye, aye
We missed you every day
Your hugs and smile so warm
BOTH: Now we're so glad you're home
We're so glad you're home
The way you make us laugh
We adore your funny jokes
BOTH: Now we're so glad you're home
We're so glad you're home ♪
-Lovely. Just lovely.
-Fantastic.
Aw, girls, that was so wonderful.
Thank you, everyone.
It's so great to be back.
We're so happy you're home.
NAVEEN: (SIGHS) There's nothing
like family time.
CHIKKU: It's the best.
-ALL: Aw.
-NAVEEN: It's wonderful.
(ALL LAUGHING)
MIRA: Mystery in the Sand Dunes.
(MIKKU AND CHIKKU CHEERING)
MIRA: The desert is so beautiful,
isn't it, Papa?
It sure is, Mira.
And, we'll be able
to explore so much more of it
with my latest invention,
The sand skipper.
Rides pretty nicely, don't you think?
I can't wait to test
it out on the sand dunes.
Prince Neel, if your sand skipper
drives well on the dunes,
I will be honored
to add it to the royal fleet of vehicles.
Hear that, Mikku.
We might be sitting
on top of an official royal vehicle.
Sitting and snacking.
I have everything planned out.
The test should go really smoothly.
-(METAL RATTLES)
-ALL: Whoa!
I hope.
Soggy samosas.
I did not plan for this wind.
Ah, yes. It can get very windy out here.
But, it's the best way
to test out the sand skipper.
We need to see if it can handle
whatever the desert throws at it.
CHIKKU AND MIKKU: Whoa.
(BOTH EXCLAIM)
-(BOTH GRUNT)
-(TINKU GRUNTS)
-MIKKU: Oh, hey, Tinku.
-What's up, big guy?
-(GRUNTS)
-MIRA: Tinku.
You came at the perfect time.
We're testing out Neel's new invention.
-(GRUNTS)
-SAHIL: Mira, can you put
these flags over the dune
to mark the course, while Mikku, Chikku
and I, set up the tent?
Sure thing, Papa. Come on, Tinku.
MIRA: It's hard to push
the flags in deep enough,
so the wind doesn't keep
Doing that.
-(METAL CLANKS)
-(GRUNTS)
-(MIRA GRUNTS)
-(GRUNTS)
Oh, thanks, Tinku.
With your help,
I'll get this course set up in no time.
CHIKKU: Our mongoose muscle is
no match for this wind.
Give it all you got, Chikku.
(BOTH YELL)
(GRUNTS)
-CHIKKU: We'll take a lift.
-Thanks, Tinku.
(GRUNTS)
Now, that's the muscle we need.
How's it going here?
Thanks to Tinku, we are all set up.
Nice work, Tinku.
Yes. Now, who's ready to roll?
-I am.
-(ALL CHEER)
All right, Prince Neel, let's see
what your sand skipper's made of.
Ready. Steady. Go.
And they're off.
-(GRUNTS)
-Ride that dune, baby.
BOTH: Who-hoo. (CHUCKLING)
-All right.
-Head for that flag.
-(LAUGHS)
-How about that one?
BOTH: Yeah. Whoo-hoo!
They're making great time.
Especially in this wind.
-(WIND HOWLING)
-MIRA: Neel, hear that?
What'd you say?
-That howling means
-(BOTH GASP)
BOTH: Sandstorm.
Mira, Prince Neel, come back.
We need to take cover from the storm.
-(BOTH GRUNTING)
-(WHEELS JAMMING)
(MIRA GRUNTS)
(NEEL GRUNTS) The wind's too hard.
I can't peddle into it.
MIRA: Let's make a run for it.
-(SAND BLOWING)
-Quick, come inside the tent.
Storms like these
are common in the desert.
But we're safe in here.
We just have to wait for it to pass.
-Waiting.
-I'm good with that.
I hope it's over soon.
-Me too, Neel.
-(BRAYS)
(WIND BLOWING HARD)
-Sounds like it's almost gone.
-(GRUNTS)
All right, everyone. We're all clear.
(GRUNTS)
Well, our stuff got blown around,
but otherwise, everything looks fine.
NEEL: Soggy samosas.
Where's my sand skipper?
I don't see it anywhere.
It's gotta be around here somewhere.
How are you going to
test it out now, Prince Neel?
-(TINKU GRUNTS)
-Forget about testing it out,
the sand skipper's our only way home.
-I don't like the sound of that.
-Me neither.
MIRA: Don't worry, guys.
We'll find the sand skipper
and be home in no time. We're on the case.
We're on the case
We're on the case
We're on the case
Look a little closer

BOTH: Ooh.

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 ♪
Let's think about
what the sand skipper looks like.
Well, it's got the Jalpur flag,
a comfort grip handle bar,
oh, and a really sweet bicycle horn.
Great. The more we know
about the sand skipper,
the easier it'll be to find clues
to where it went.
Good thinking, beti.
Neel, where did you last see it?
At the top of the dune.
Tinku, can you gather up the gear
that got blown around by the storm,
while we locate the vehicle.
-(GRUNTS)
-MIKKU: We got your back, Tinku.
CHIKKU: And your hump.
Tinku, you found the fruit basket.
If you get hungry, help yourself.
There was a fruit basket?
How did we miss that?
-(GRUNTS)
-Aw, thanks, big guy.
You're the man, Tinku.
I mean, the camel.
Good thing there's
just one sand dune to search.
Uh, Neel.
NEEL: Six more sand dunes?
Where did those come from?
The storm must have shifted the sand
and created them.
Since all the flags blew away,
there's no way to tell the dunes apart.
We just need to look for clues.
The sand skipper could've blown off course
or gotten buried in the sand.
I see something. Something shiny.
Maybe it's my sand skipper.
There's only one way to find out.
Chalo, chalo, let's go.
There it is.
(GRUNTING)
Doesn't look like it's buried too deep.
-MIKKU: We'll help you dig it out.
-(BOTH GRUNTING)
Can you dig
in the other direction, please?
Oopsie. (GRUNTS)
Sorry, Uncle.
Jumping-jalebis, what do we have here?
The horn from my sand skipper.
That must have been
the shiny thing we saw.
(HORN BLOWS)
Yep, still works.
It certainly does.
If Neel's horn was buried,
maybe his sand skipper is down there, too.
Let's get digging.
(LAUGHING EXCITEDLY)
-Slow down, guys.
-Papa's right.
It doesn't take much to make the sand
(ALL SCREAMING)
Looks like all the sand
we were standing on
spilled down here with us.
-Oopsies.
-My bad.
(GRUNTS)
I think most of it got in my hair.
So, where should we look next?
Maybe the sand can help us.
Look, the wind is carrying it that way.
So, maybe, it also moved the sand skipper.
Let's follow the sand.
Would you look at that?
The sand lead us to more sand.
I don't know about you,
but I'm getting really sick of this sand.
What we need is another clue.
Like the one
you're leaning against, Chikku?
My flag.
(LAUGHS) Nice work, Chikku.
Mikku, that is how you find a clue.
So far, we found the bicycle horn
and the flag from the sand skipper.
Let's check out the next dune.
Hey, we could see Tinku from here.
Yes, but can you see the fruit basket?
The sand is still blowing.
Maybe we haven't searched
far enough yet. Hmm.
If I drop some more sand,
it blows That way.
BOTH: (CHANTING) Follow the sand,
follow the sand, follow the sand.
Neel, the sand skipper,
it's down there.
Nice work, Mira.
-BOTH: Case closed.
-MIRA: Not yet, guys.
Now we need to find a way
to get the sand skipper out of there.
-So case
-Not closed.
NEEL: (LAUGHS) It's way down there.
Hmm. Maybe there's a footpath
we can use to get there.
MIRA: How's it going, Papa?
Not very promising.
There's a small entrance at the bottom
that we could drive
the sand skipper out of,
but it would take hours for us
to walk around and get there.
Hmm. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
I do believe I am.
Uh, what are you guys thinking?
We'll climb down, get Neel's sand skipper
and then peddle it right on out of there.
Guys, careful, okay?
Mira
BOTH: We got this.
(BOTH GRUNTING AND WHOOPING)
BOTH: Whee.
(GRUNTS) Made it to the sand skipper.
-MIRA: Whoo-hoo.
-SAHIL: Excellent.
Know what this calls for?
-Dance break.
-Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Let's dance. Let's do it.
Let's dance. Let's do it.
-Let's dance.
-Mikku, Chikku.
-Stop dancing.
-Please.
-(CREAKING)
-(SCREAMING)
-(CRASHING)
-Oh, no.
(ROCKS BREAKING)
Are you fellas okay?
We're fine, Uncle,
but the sand skipper
-is just a little
-Stuck.
The entrance is blocked.
How are they gonna get out now?
I'll get a rope and pull them out.
(GRUNTS) Hold on.
It could be a bumpy ride.
MIKKU: Oh, it's bumpy, all right.
SAHIL: Moving on.
(GRUNTS)
(STRAINING) Stuck on something
I can't pull it free.
We'll help, Papa.
(ALL GRUNTING AND PANTING)
It's not working.
What we need is more muscle.
But where are we gonna find more muscle
in the middle of the desert?
There's gotta be a way.
Let's think this through.
We needed more muscle a few times today.
First, when I put out
the race course flags.
Then, when Papa needed
help securing the tent
and finally, when we needed
to move things after the sand storm.
I only have one idea
of someone with that kind of strength.
-Tinku.
-(GRUNTS)
Great thinking, Mira.
(WHISTLES) Tinku.
Over here.
(TINKU PANTING)
Tinku, can you lend us some muscle?
(GRUNTS EXCITEDLY)
You can use this fabric
and some rope and
(SAHIL GRUNTING) There.
Tinku, you're ready for action.
(GRUNTS)
Hang on tight, guys.
Ready, steady, pull.
(ALL GRUNTING)
-CHIKKU: You can do it, big guy.
-SAHIL: Come on, Tinku.
(ALL CONTINUE GRUNTING)
(ALL CHEERING)
So glad to have you guys back.
Thank you, Tinku.
(GRUNTS)
Safe and sound. Now the case is closed.
MIRA: Then let's head home.
NEEL: Things didn't exactly go as planned,
but I'm happy we have our ride now.
It's amazing, Neel.
Your sand skipper fell down
to the bottom of a sand pit
and it's riding perfectly.
And we're making excellent time, too.
Prince Neel,
because your sand skipper
performed so well,
it would be an honor
to add it to the royal fleet.
Hear that Mikku and Chikku, it's official.
Neel, the sand skipper is great and all
But we're Team Tinku.
Race you back.
(GRUNTS)
CHIKKU AND MIKKU:
Too fast, too fast, too fast. Too fast.

Okay, then.
We should probably split this up.

Hey, that's great, Meena.
I should really get him a gift.

Mira, how are we going to find Mr. Khan?
Hmm, let's think.
All the other shops are still open.
So, there must be a reason
why Mr. Khan decided to close early.
Maybe someone
who bought spices from him knows.
But how can we tell who bought spices?
Meena, do you still have
the empty spice bag your mom gave you?
Yes, it's right here.
Okay, if we see
anyone with a spice bag like this,
we'll know they got spices from Mr. Khan.
-That's our girl.
-She's a genius.
And maybe he talked
to them about where he's going.
-Good plan, Mira.
-(GASPS)
MIRA: I see a spice bag
at the flower stand.
Let's go talk to Dhruv.
-Hi, Dhruv. We're on a case and
-We need to find Mr. Khan fast.
Do you know where he is?
Do you have any idea?
Um I don't.
Meena, let Mira handle this, please?
We noticed that you have
a spice bag from his shop.
Yes, Mira, I bought some
spices from him today.
Oh, that's interesting, Auntie.
Did Mr. Khan say
anything about why he was closing early?
Yes, he said he was going to have
a special day out with his family.
Did he say where they were going?
No, he didn't. All I know is,
he was in a big rush
to get food at Mr. Puri's dhaba.
-Maybe we can still catch him.
-Thank you, Auntie.
Mr. Puri's dhaba?
That restaurant is one
of my favorite places to investigate.
Yes, we will need to do
a thorough investigation of the menu.
Meena, let Mira peddle, please.
She shouldn't bike when she's upset.
I heard that.
Hello, girls. What can I do for you?
We're on a new case, Uncle.
We're looking for Mr. Khan.
Oh, really? He was just here.
Ugh! We missed him again.
He wasn't here long. He ordered some food
and took it on the go.
He was in such a hurry,
he left behind one of the food bags.
-Don't worry, Uncle.
-We won't let any
of your delicious food go to waste.
Did he say where he was headed?
Yes, the kite shop.
Great. We can bring him his food.
-Right, guys?
-Sure, Mira.
Wasn't where I was going with that,
but okay.
Thank you, Mira.
Good luck finding Mr. Khan.
We can't miss him again.
We need that cinnamon sugar. Hurry.
Wait here, guys, and keep an eye out.
-Yes, we will guard the food.
-With our lives.
She meant, keep an eye out for Mr. Khan.
In case we meet him here.
Don't bother. We just missed him.
Again? This is getting ridiculous.
I asked inside.
They have no idea where he went.
-Did he buy a kite?
-Mira, I can't think about
kites right now. I need cinnamon sugar.
It could be a clue, Meena.
Yes, he bought a kite,
but they don't know where he went.
Should've gotten the cinnamon sugar
before I got all those gifts.
Then we wouldn't have this problem.
You wanted to do something nice
for your father, Meena.
I think he'll really like
the stuff you got.
No one can pick out gifts like you can.
But we can't keep running all
over town looking for Mr. Khan.
Papa's gonna be home soon
and we need to decorate and cook.
(GIGGLES)
There must be a way to find him
and still have time
to get ready for the party.
Let's think this through.
We know Mr. Khan is having
a special day out with his family.
He picked up some food to go
and then bought a kite.
What would a family do together
where they bring food and a kite?
CHIKKU AND MIKKU: Have a picnic.
MIRA: Exactly, and where's
the perfect place
to have a picnic and fly kites?
ALL: The park!
Right. Let's see if we can find him there.
Oh, I really hope he's there.
(BOY CHUCKLES)
MR. KHAN: Release more string, beta.
(LAUGHS)
That's it.
-There he is.
-ALL: Yes!
MIRA: Mr. Khan,
we're so happy we found you.
Hello, girls. What can I do for you?
I really need to get
your special cinnamon sugar.
I'm making laddus for my papa.
Sounds delicious, Meena.
And you came all this way
for my cinnamon sugar?
-We sure did.
-Yours is the best.
Are you going to have
to go back to your shop to get it?
I know you're enjoying family time.
That is very thoughtful of you.
But I should have
some extra cinnamon sugar in my bag.
I always carry some spices with me.
Let me check.
-Please have cinnamon sugar.
-Oh, please, please, please, please.
Ah, here it is.
-ALL: Yes.
-CHIKKU AND MIKKU: Yahoo!
How much do I owe you, Mr. Khan?
You came all the way here
for my cinnamon sugar.
Please accept it as a gift.
(EXCLAIMS) I've never been so happy
to see a spice bag in my life.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
-My pleasure, Meena.
-I almost forgot.
Mr. Khan, we have some food
you left behind at the dhaba.
It might be a little cold by now.
Oh, we have far too much food
at the picnic already.
I'm not sure we can eat it.
Oh, but we can.
We accept the challenge.
You are most welcome to it,
little friends.
BOTH: Victory. (MUNCHING)
Mikku, Chikku, come on, we have to go.
-Go?
-We're a little busy right now.
I bet Meena's going
to need some taste testers for her laddus.
-Say no more.
-You had me at "Laddus".
I hear footsteps. They're coming.
Places, people. Places.
Everyone, hide.
ALL: Surprise!
(GASPS) Oh, my. What a wonderful surprise.
-BOTH: Papa.
-(GRUNTS)
We missed you so much.
(SIGHS) I missed you, too.
Welcome home, Uncle Naveen.
Oh, Mira, it's so good to see you.
Naveen, the girls made
something special for you.
Laddus.
(EXCLAIMS) My favorite dessert
in the entire world.
Mmm. Delicious.
And you made it with cinnamon sugar?
-You know that makes it
-BOTH: Extra special.
It was Meena's idea to make them, Papa.
And everyone helped me.
Especially Mira.
It was my pleasure, Meena.
Mira is an excellent helper.
-And we are excellent laddu eaters.
-It's a gift.
Uncle Naveen, Meena and Priya
wrote you a special song.

(ALL LAUGHING)
MIRA: Mystery in the Sand Dunes.
(MIKKU AND CHIKKU CHEERING)
MIRA: The desert is so beautiful,
isn't it, Papa?
It sure is, Mira.
And, we'll be able
to explore so much more of it
with my latest invention,
The sand skipper.
Rides pretty nicely, don't you think?
I can't wait to test
it out on the sand dunes.
Prince Neel, if your sand skipper
drives well on the dunes,
I will be honored
to add it to the royal fleet of vehicles.
Hear that, Mikku.
We might be sitting
on top of an official royal vehicle.
Sitting and snacking.
I have everything planned out.
The test should go really smoothly.
-(METAL RATTLES)
-ALL: Whoa!
I hope.
Soggy samosas.
I did not plan for this wind.
Ah, yes. It can get very windy out here.
But, it's the best way
to test out the sand skipper.
We need to see if it can handle
whatever the desert throws at it.
CHIKKU AND MIKKU: Whoa.

You came at the perfect time.
We're testing out Neel's new invention.
-(GRUNTS)
-SAHIL: Mira, can you put
these flags over the dune
to mark the course, while Mikku, Chikku
and I, set up the tent?
Sure thing, Papa. Come on, Tinku.
MIRA: It's hard to push
the flags in deep enough,
so the wind doesn't keep
Doing that.
-(METAL CLANKS)
-(GRUNTS)
-(MIRA GRUNTS)
-(GRUNTS)
Oh, thanks, Tinku.
With your help,
I'll get this course set up in no time.
CHIKKU: Our mongoose muscle is
no match for this wind.
Give it all you got, Chikku.
(BOTH YELL)
(GRUNTS)
-CHIKKU: We'll take a lift.
-Thanks, Tinku.
(GRUNTS)
Now, that's the muscle we need.
How's it going here?
Thanks to Tinku, we are all set up.
Nice work, Tinku.
Yes. Now, who's ready to roll?
-I am.
-(ALL CHEER)
All right, Prince Neel, let's see
what your sand skipper's made of.
Ready. Steady. Go.
And they're off.
-(GRUNTS)
-Ride that dune, baby.
BOTH: Who-hoo. (CHUCKLING)
-All right.
-Head for that flag.
-(LAUGHS)
-How about that one?
BOTH: Yeah. Whoo-hoo!
They're making great time.
Especially in this wind.
-(WIND HOWLING)
-MIRA: Neel, hear that?
What'd you say?
-That howling means
-(BOTH GASP)
BOTH: Sandstorm.
Mira, Prince Neel, come back.
We need to take cover from the storm.
-(BOTH GRUNTING)
-(WHEELS JAMMING)
(MIRA GRUNTS)
(NEEL GRUNTS) The wind's too hard.
I can't peddle into it.
MIRA: Let's make a run for it.
-(SAND BLOWING)
-Quick, come inside the tent.
Storms like these
are common in the desert.
But we're safe in here.
We just have to wait for it to pass.
-Waiting.
-I'm good with that.
I hope it's over soon.
-Me too, Neel.
-(BRAYS)
(WIND BLOWING HARD)
-Sounds like it's almost gone.
-(GRUNTS)
All right, everyone. We're all clear.
(GRUNTS)
Well, our stuff got blown around,
but otherwise, everything looks fine.
NEEL: Soggy samosas.
Where's my sand skipper?
I don't see it anywhere.
It's gotta be around here somewhere.
How are you going to
test it out now, Prince Neel?
-(TINKU GRUNTS)
-Forget about testing it out,
the sand skipper's our only way home.
-I don't like the sound of that.
-Me neither.
MIRA: Don't worry, guys.
We'll find the sand skipper
and be home in no time. We're on the case.

Let's think about
what the sand skipper looks like.
Well, it's got the Jalpur flag,
a comfort grip handle bar,
oh, and a really sweet bicycle horn.
Great. The more we know
about the sand skipper,
the easier it'll be to find clues
to where it went.
Good thinking, beti.
Neel, where did you last see it?
At the top of the dune.
Tinku, can you gather up the gear
that got blown around by the storm,
while we locate the vehicle.
-(GRUNTS)
-MIKKU: We got your back, Tinku.
CHIKKU: And your hump.
Tinku, you found the fruit basket.
If you get hungry, help yourself.
There was a fruit basket?
How did we miss that?
-(GRUNTS)
-Aw, thanks, big guy.
You're the man, Tinku.
I mean, the camel.
Good thing there's
just one sand dune to search.
Uh, Neel.
NEEL: Six more sand dunes?
Where did those come from?
The storm must have shifted the sand
and created them.
Since all the flags blew away,
there's no way to tell the dunes apart.
We just need to look for clues.
The sand skipper could've blown off course
or gotten buried in the sand.
I see something. Something shiny.
Maybe it's my sand skipper.
There's only one way to find out.
Chalo, chalo, let's go.
There it is.
(GRUNTING)
Doesn't look like it's buried too deep.
-MIKKU: We'll help you dig it out.
-(BOTH GRUNTING)
Can you dig
in the other direction, please?
Oopsie. (GRUNTS)
Sorry, Uncle.
Jumping-jalebis, what do we have here?
The horn from my sand skipper.
That must have been
the shiny thing we saw.
(HORN BLOWS)
Yep, still works.
It certainly does.
If Neel's horn was buried,
maybe his sand skipper is down there, too.
Let's get digging.
(LAUGHING EXCITEDLY)
-Slow down, guys.
-Papa's right.
It doesn't take much to make the sand
(ALL SCREAMING)
Looks like all the sand
we were standing on
spilled down here with us.
-Oopsies.
-My bad.
(GRUNTS)
I think most of it got in my hair.
So, where should we look next?
Maybe the sand can help us.
Look, the wind is carrying it that way.
So, maybe, it also moved the sand skipper.
Let's follow the sand.
Would you look at that?
The sand lead us to more sand.
I don't know about you,
but I'm getting really sick of this sand.
What we need is another clue.
Like the one
you're leaning against, Chikku?
My flag.
(LAUGHS) Nice work, Chikku.
Mikku, that is how you find a clue.
So far, we found the bicycle horn
and the flag from the sand skipper.
Let's check out the next dune.
Hey, we could see Tinku from here.
Yes, but can you see the fruit basket?
The sand is still blowing.
Maybe we haven't searched
far enough yet. Hmm.
If I drop some more sand,
it blows That way.
BOTH: (CHANTING) Follow the sand,
follow the sand, follow the sand.
Neel, the sand skipper,
it's down there.
Nice work, Mira.
-BOTH: Case closed.
-MIRA: Not yet, guys.
Now we need to find a way
to get the sand skipper out of there.
-So case
-Not closed.
NEEL: (LAUGHS) It's way down there.
Hmm. Maybe there's a footpath
we can use to get there.
MIRA: How's it going, Papa?
Not very promising.
There's a small entrance at the bottom
that we could drive
the sand skipper out of,
but it would take hours for us
to walk around and get there.
Hmm. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
I do believe I am.
Uh, what are you guys thinking?
We'll climb down, get Neel's sand skipper
and then peddle it right on out of there.
Guys, careful, okay?
Mira
BOTH: We got this.
(BOTH GRUNTING AND WHOOPING)
BOTH: Whee.
(GRUNTS) Made it to the sand skipper.
-MIRA: Whoo-hoo.
-SAHIL: Excellent.
Know what this calls for?
-Dance break.
-Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Let's dance. Let's do it.

Are you fellas okay?
We're fine, Uncle,
but the sand skipper
-is just a little
-Stuck.
The entrance is blocked.
How are they gonna get out now?
I'll get a rope and pull them out.
(GRUNTS) Hold on.
It could be a bumpy ride.
MIKKU: Oh, it's bumpy, all right.
SAHIL: Moving on.
(GRUNTS)
(STRAINING) Stuck on something
I can't pull it free.
We'll help, Papa.
(ALL GRUNTING AND PANTING)
It's not working.
What we need is more muscle.
But where are we gonna find more muscle
in the middle of the desert?
There's gotta be a way.
Let's think this through.
We needed more muscle a few times today.
First, when I put out
the race course flags.
Then, when Papa needed
help securing the tent
and finally, when we needed
to move things after the sand storm.
I only have one idea
of someone with that kind of strength.
-Tinku.
-(GRUNTS)
Great thinking, Mira.
(WHISTLES) Tinku.
Over here.
(TINKU PANTING)
Tinku, can you lend us some muscle?
(GRUNTS EXCITEDLY)
You can use this fabric
and some rope and
(SAHIL GRUNTING) There.
Tinku, you're ready for action.
(GRUNTS)
Hang on tight, guys.
Ready, steady, pull.

-CHIKKU: You can do it, big guy.
-SAHIL: Come on, Tinku.
(ALL CONTINUE GRUNTING)

So glad to have you guys back.
Thank you, Tinku.
(GRUNTS)
Safe and sound. Now the case is closed.
MIRA: Then let's head home.
NEEL: Things didn't exactly go as planned,
but I'm happy we have our ride now.
It's amazing, Neel.
Your sand skipper fell down
to the bottom of a sand pit
and it's riding perfectly.
And we're making excellent time, too.
Prince Neel,
because your sand skipper
performed so well,
it would be an honor
to add it to the royal fleet.
Hear that Mikku and Chikku, it's official.
Neel, the sand skipper is great and all
But we're Team Tinku.
Race you back.
