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)
