Royal Detective
MIRA: The Case of the Missing
Lehenga Choli.
Mira.
Hello, Auntie.
Kamala said she wanted
to show me her new outfit.
Oh, yes. Come in. Come in.
Kamala and Dimple
are getting dressed right now.
-(GASPS) Are the girls ready?
-Almost.
Oh, Mira. This is my sister Khushy.
Namaste, Mira.
Namaste, Auntie, It's so nice to meet you.
-This is Mikku and Chikku.
-BOTH: Our pleasure.
The pleasure is all mine, darlings.
Saucy silks! Look at that dazzling kurta.
And, Mikku and Chikku, that fur is fab.
It's rich, shiny, and fluffy.
-I'm inspired!
-Thank you, Auntie.
-Excellent eye.
-I like her.
Everybody ready? Ta-da!
-KHUSHY: Darling, look at you.
-Wow, Kamala!
How fabulous!
-Love it, people!
-Stunning!
Isn't this the most gorgeous lehenga choli
you've ever seen?
Auntie Khushy,
this is my favorite outfit you ever made.
You have to see Dimple's outfit, too.
Dimple, come out.
-Dimple, beta?
-Where did she go?
Come on, Dimple.
Everybody wants to see you.
I don't wanna wear this, Kamala.
I want to wear pants.
You can't wear pants.
We're supposed to wear lehengas.
Remember? Auntie Khushy made them for us.
Okay.
Kamala, Dimple,
you both look so great in your outfit.
Khushy, you have really outdone yourself.
Saucy silks! They fit perfectly.
Mira, Auntie Khushy
designed these special lehenga cholis
to surprise our Nani
at her birthday celebration.
There is something very similar
about your outfits.
-But what?
-They match, Chikku.
It's a tradition in the family
to wear matching outfits.
-See?
-That's my Nani
and her sister when they were young.
-Unmistakable.
-Same chin.
And that's Mom and Auntie Khushy
when they were little.
They match, too!
And now, it's Dimple's and my turn
to wear matching outfits.
Chikku, we should wear
matching outfits, too.
I'll dress you up, gooses!
MIKKU AND CHIKKU: Okay. Dress up time!
Auntie, the fabric you used
is so beautiful.
I love the diamond mirrors.
It looks like a sky full of stars.
Wonderful observation, Mira.
I used fabric from a sari
that's been passed down
in our family for over 100 years.
Wow!
Our Nani gave it to Auntie Khushy
when she became a fashion designer
so she could make outfits with it.
We still have so much
to do to get ready for the celebration.
Kamala, please go change.
Do I have to?
Yes, beti.
-Dimple, you change, too, please.
-I already did.
And now, I'm playing dress up
with the gooses.
-That's a good look for you.
-And for you as well.
I'm ready.
Ashima, bring the outfits with you
so you can find
matching bangles while you're out.
Will do. Come along, girls.
Okay.
Mira, Mikku, Chikku,
please say you'll come
to the celebration for our Nani tonight.
We'd love to.
-We'll be there.
-So there.
-Great.
-Guys,
what do you say we pick up some sweets
as a gift for Nani?
Sure. We can get some as a gift
for us, too.
Sounds like a plan.
Mikku, Chikku (CHUCKLES)
Aren't you forgetting something?
BOTH: (CHUCKLES) Oh, right.
We'll just put these back.
(LAUGHS)
Okay, guys.
We have the perfect sweets for Nani.
Psst. Mira?
What is it, Kamala?
Nani can't know this,
but Dimple's outfit is missing!
-Oh, no!
-Say it isn't so!
This can't be happening.
Auntie Khushy worked so hard to make us
matching outfits for Nani's celebration.
What are we gonna do?
Don't worry, Kamala.
We'll find Dimple's outfit
before the celebration.
We're on the case!
We're on the case
We're on the case
We're on the case
Look a little closer
With your magnifying glass
Open up your notebook
Get your coat
And badge on fast
Ask all the questions
Follow your senses
Focus on every clue
BOTH: Ooh.
Listen for answers
Find what you're after
That's what detectives do
We're on the case
We're on the case
We're on the case
Kamala, tell me exactly what happened.
We went all around town
picking up things for the celebration.
When we got home, I looked in the bag.
My outfit was there,
but Dimple's was gone.
Her entire outfit?
Yes. I brought mine with me
so you could see.
-She had a choli like this.
-BOTH: Okay.
-A dupatta like this.
-BOTH: Uh-huh.
-A lehenga like this.
-BOTH: Got it.
And the headband which looks like this.
Not the headband!
It's too much. Too much!
Kamala, where exactly
did you stop on your way home?
First, we went to the dhaba
to get a snack.
-MIKKU AND CHIKKU: A snack?
-Maybe the outfit's there. Let's go.
MIRA: Hi, Mr. Puri.
Hi, Mira. Kamala, back already?
Did you want more chole and bhature?
Actually, we're on a case.
We're looking for Dimple's outfit.
No outfits here.
Just delicious, delicious bhature.
Excuse me.
We'll be the judge
of how delicious they are.
We'll have 12 bhature, please.
How about you start with one?
Kamala, where exactly
did you eat your chole and bhature?
At that table.
Let's see if we find any clues.
Mikku, my bhature is gone.
-You're wearing it, Chikku.
-Oh.
Come on. I'll help you eat your way out.
Did you find anything, Mira?
MIRA: I think I did.
Kamala, look at this mirror.
It's diamond-shaped.
Just like the ones from your outfit.
You're right, but what's it doing here?
Maybe it fell off
Dimple's outfit. Let's keep looking.
Nice hat, Bunty.
(BRAYS)
Very chic.
Wait a minute. That hat looks familiar.
It's Dimple's choli!
Bunty, you are redefining fashion.
What a moment, people.
But we're going to need the choli back.
You understand.
Official Royal Detective business.
-(BRAYING)
-Ah! Mira!
-Help!
-Guys, hang on!
Careful with the fabric.
It's very, very precious.
(MIKKU AND CHIKKU SHOUT)
(MIKKU AND CHIKKU GROANS)
Are you okay?
Is the choli okay?
-We're okay.
-And so is the choli.
Great job, guys.
All right, we have the choli.
Now all we need to find is
Dimple's dupatta, lehenga, and headband.
Did you stop anywhere else
besides the dhaba on your way home?
Yes! The flower cart.
We bought flowers to decorate the house.
Let's head there. Come on!
-MIRA: Hello, Auntie.
-Hello, girls.
Kamala, do you need more garlands?
No, Auntie. We're actually
looking for Dimple's outfit.
Oh, the one she's going to wear
for your Nani's celebration?
Yes, we found the choli,
but now we're looking for the rest of it.
Maybe your Nani has seen it?
-She's right there.
-Oh, no. Nani!
You don't want her to know
about the outfit until later.
-We need to hide.
-MIKKU AND CHIKKU: Hide!
CHIKKU: Let's hide over there
behind that hump.
MIKKU: That's the perfect hiding spot.
Kamala, I thought that was you.
Hi, Nani. You remember Mira.
The Royal Detective. Of course.
Namaste, Nani.
So what has gone missing today, Mira?
(LAUGHS NERVOUSLY)
Nani, you tell the best jokes.
Really? Maybe I'll share some more tonight
at the celebration.
-See you both soon.
-MIRA AND DIMPLE: Bye, Nani.
This is bad. This is bad. This so bad!
Don't worry. We'll find it.
Let's look around for more clues.
Ooh. Check this out!
More mirrors.
MIKKU: Mirrors?
CHIKKU: Where?
Mikku, is it me or is the hump moving?
Hang on for your life!
-Guys, it's Tinku.
-(BELLOWS)
-What an entrance!
-Looking stylish, Tinku!
It looks like he's wearing
Dimple's dupatta.
He is!
Easy, big guy.
That's very, very precious fabric.
-Thanks, Tinku.
-(BELLOWS)
Why are all these animals
wearing parts of Dimple's outfit?
That's a good question, Kamala.
Pari! Eyes on the stick.
(BLEATING)
-Hi, Pinky.
-Oh, hi, Mira. Hi, Kamala.
You have to see this new trick
I've been teaching Pari.
I hold this stick up in the air
and she runs to it.
-A magic stick
-for a magic trick.
Wait, Pinky,
are there mirrors on your stick?
Yes! Aren't they nice?
When Pari sees her reflection,
she stops like this.
-(BLEATS)
-Well, she's supposed to stop.
Uh, Mira,
why are we talking about a stick?
We need to find
the rest of Dimple's outfit.
Kamala, these mirrors on Pinky's stick
look exactly like the ones
on Dimple's outfit.
You're right.
Where did you find them, Pinky?
It was all Pari.
She found them on the ground.
-That's my girl.
-(BLEATS)
Did she also find that headband
she's wearing around her neck?
-That's Dimple's headband!
-(BLEATS)
Yes, but we didn't know
it belonged to anyone.
Pari, we need to give Kamala the headband.
(BLEATING)
-Headband, please.
-Thank you.
Pinky, Pari couldn't have put the headband
on herself, right?
(LAUGHS) I wish.
But goats don't dress themselves.
And neither do donkeys or camels.
But Pari loves playing dress up.
We love playing dress up, too.
Yes, we do.
-I'll take the headband.
-I'll take the headband.
The headband matches my glasses.
The headband matches my tail.
Wait. I think I know what happened.
-MIKKU AND CHIKKU: You do?
-What?
Let's think this through.
Earlier today, we saw someone else
playing dress up with Mikku and Chikku.
Dimple.
What if Dimple wanted to play dress up
with all the animals?
So she put the choli on Bunty,
the dupatta on Tinku,
and the headband on Pari.
Dimple? Why would she do that?
She's supposed to be wearing the outfit
to Nani's celebration.
I don't know. We need to talk to her.
Chalo, chalo! Let's go!
This is gonna look very nice.
Dimple, what are you doing
with your lehenga?
-I was, uh
-(CLUCKING)
Raj wanted to wear it.
Raj, I like the look.
Bold choice.
Dimple, did you give your choli,
dupatta, and headband
to your animal friends?
MIKKU AND CHIKKU: Whoa!
Yes! They like playing dress up with me.
Auntie Khushy made that outfit
for you, Dimple.
Not for the animals.
Dimple, is this true?
You gave your outfit to the animals?
Yes. I'm sorry, Mama.
Dimple, darling,
do you not like your outfit?
I do, Auntie Khushy.
I just don't like wearing skirts.
I want to wear pants.
But I know Kamala and I need to match.
Oh, my little heart.
I think we can work something out.
You've just given me the greatest idea.
Come with me.
(MIKKU AND CHIKKU MUNCHING)
Nani, it's so wonderful
to celebrate with you.
Oh, Mira, it's such a treat
having you here.
Well, I hope you're ready
for another treat.
The aunties have
a special surprise for you.
BOTH: Ta-da!
-What do you think, Ma?
-Do you love it?
Oh, my! Ashima, Khushy,
you both look so lovely,
and you're matching.
Just like when you were little.
Yes, Mummy, we knew you'd love it.
But that's not the only surprise.
Girls, come on out.
Oh, you spoil me!
This is the best surprise ever.
Kamala, you look beautiful.
Thank you, Nani.
And Dimple, look at your pants.
They're magnificent.
Auntie Khushy made them for me.
I love them. They're so perfect for you.
Mira, thank you so much for everything.
We couldn't have surprised Nani
without your help.
You're so welcome.
You look good, Chikku.
No, Mikku. You look great.
Raj, how about a makeover?
How about a bangle?
How about four bangles?
(CLUCKING ANGRILY)
MIRA: The Case of the Mysterious House.
Winding up, and what a throw!
If I do say so myself.
Going. Still going. Stopped.
Wow, Mikku. That's really far.
Nice throw, Mikku.
Chikku, how many mongoose hops is that?
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven!
Seven mongoose hops.
That's five mongoose hops for you, Mira,
three for me, and seven for Mikku.
Whoo-hoo! I'm winning!
Not so fast, Mikku.
Because it's my turn and I've got
my lucky ball.
Let's see what you've got.
Come on!
Huh? What? Oh, sorry.
Ram Singh Ji,
it looks like you dropped something.
Oh, thank you, Mira.
Well, busy, busy.
Lots to do. Okay, bye.
Bye, Ram Singh Ji.
Okay, let's do this, lucky ball.
Lucky ball. Lucky ball.
Mikku, hear that?
Adrika thinks my ball is lucky too.
Chikku, Adrika is a mynah bird.
She just repeats what you say.
Repeats what you say.
Repeats what you say.
Well, watch this.
Yes!
Now that's what I call a fastball.
BOTH: Whoa!
Hey, where'd it go?
It's over there. Got it.
Uh-oh. The ball went into the house.
Oh, no! That's
CHIKKU AND MIKKU: The mysterious house.
Mysterious?
How exactly is it mysterious?
It's alive.
MIRA AND PINKY: Alive?
This one time,
we were playing with Mikku's lucky ball,
and it rolled into that house.
And we never saw it again.
Because the house ate it.
Wow! A house that's alive.
There's no such thing, Pinky.
Chikku, I'm sure your ball
is somewhere in there.
Hi, Papa. Do you know who lives there?
This house, no one has lived
in it for a long time.
Do you think we could go inside
and get the ball back?
Of course, beti, I'll lead the way.
Wait! We're going in the (STAMMERS) house?
Chikku, I know what it's like
to lose a lucky ball.
You don't want to lose yours.
-Trust me.
-(SIGHS) You're right. Mikku.
I have to do this for my lucky ball.
Chikku, we're going to be fine. I promise.
Hmm, I don't see the ball.
We're too late.
The house ate it.
Ooh, wonder what else
the house likes to eat.
There has to be a reasonable
explanation for this.
Don't worry, Chikku,
we're going to find your lucky ball.
We're on the case.
We're on the case
We're on the case
We're on the case
Look a little closer
With your magnifying glass
Open up your notebook
Get your coat
And badge on fast
Ask all the questions
Follow your senses
Focus on every clue
BOTH: Ooh.
Listen for answers
Find what you're after
That's what detectives do
We're on the case
We're on the case
We're on the case
First, let's look around
and see if we can find any clues.
Just a bunch of dust.
(CHIKKU AND MIKKU SNEEZES)
More dust here.
Hmm, check out the pattern
in the dust on the ground.
It looks like the same one
from your ball, Chikku.
So, Mira, do you think
the ball bounced over here?
Yes, Papa.
But where's my ball now, Mira?
In the house's tummy.
Obviously.
The house has a tummy too?
Wow!
Mikku, houses do not have tummies.
It looks like there's
something else on the ground.
Light blue paint.
It's on my paws.
It's on my foot.
The paint is wet.
That's strange.
Oh, yes. Very, very strange.
Uh, Mira why's it strange?
It means that someone
must have just been here.
Papa, didn't you say the house
has been empty for a long time?
That's correct.
No one has lived here
since before I was born.
Hmm, I wonder if whoever used this paint
also took the ball.
I know. Let's ask the house.
Hello, house.
I'm Pinky, it's very nice to meet you.
Do you know who took the ball?
Huh? No answer.
It must be taking a nap.
MIRA: Look, more paint splatters.
I wonder if someone's upstairs.
We should go check.
We're going up there?
Chikku, remember why you're doing this.
Right.
CHIKKU: Lucky ball, I'm coming for you.
There's light coming from that room.
Maybe whoever has the ball is in there.
Let's check
-Hey!
-Who turned out the lights?
-Someone's on my tail!
-Sorry, Mikku.
Everyone, hang tight.
I'm going to open that window.
That's better
I was just making sure
Mikku and Chikku were okay.
-And we were making sure uncle was okay.
-He's good.
I wonder why the light went out so quickly
when we walked in.
I know who we should ask.
Hello, house. Question.
Did you put out the lights?
Pinky, There's something on your hand.
Ooh, look at that.
It's more wet paint.
And it's the same color
as the paint splatters we found before.
This whole wall has just been painted.
That's odd.
And there's still smoke
coming out of the lantern.
Which means that it was just blown out.
Someone must have been in here
and just left.
Where could they've gone, Mira?
Well, there are two doorways to the room.
We came in this door.
So maybe whoever was in the room
left through that door.
Yes. Yes, that makes sense.
I don't know.
It's all too strange.
ADRIKA: All too strange. All too strange.
Mikku, stop copying me.
It wasn't me. It was Pinky.
It wasn't me.
It was the house.
ADRIKA: It was the house.
It was the house.
-See!
-The house!
It is alive.
ADRIKA: Alive. Alive.
Told ya.
Guys, I'm not sure
the house is talking to us.
Then where is that voice coming from?
I don't know.
But we need to find who it belongs to.
They might have Chikku's ball.
Come on!
Let's follow the voice.
ADRIKA: Follow the voice.
Follow the voice.
I think I heard it that way.
Hello, house. We just want to be friends.
What's your favorite color?
Mine is pink.
ADRIKA: Pink. Pink.
You like pink too?
Then we might actually be best friends.
This is so exciting.
A house cannot be alive.
A house cannot be alive.
"Enter the house," they said.
"Find the ball," they said.
(ALL SCREAM)
Papa.
We didn't find anyone. Did you?
No, we didn't either, beti.
I have an idea.
(CLEARS THROAT) Excuse me, house?
Could you just tell us where you are?
ADRIKA: Where you are? Where you are?
-(CHIKKU AND MIKKU SCREAM)
-What was that?
I don't know,
but I think it's coming from downstairs.
Mira, Mikku and Chikku are right,
There's something strange
going on with this house.
Which means
It's time for us to leave!
ADRIKA: Leave. Leave. Leave.
MIKKU: We heard you, house.
CHIKKU: Loud and clear.
Wait, guys, I think
I know where the sound is coming from.
Mira, the house may have taken
my lucky ball.
And mine.
CHIKKU AND MIKKU: But it's not taking us.
There's a sound coming from over here.
It's a birdhouse.
ADRIKA: Birdhouse. Birdhouse.
Wait, the voice.
It keeps repeating what we say.
You know who else repeats what we say?
Repeats what we say. Repeats what we say.
ALL: Adrika!
Adrika, are you repeating
everything we say?
Repeating everything we say.
See, it was Adrika the whole time.
Also, the house doesn't talk?
It's just the house?
Aw!
I knew there was a perfectly
reasonable explanation. Uh
A house that talks?
That's funny. (CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)
Well, we're out of here.
Mikku, Chikku, the house isn't alive.
-It's just Adrika.
-Adrika?
Someone sure likes to hear herself talk.
-Hey!
-Whoopsies!
Adrika, do you have Chikku's ball?
Chikku's ball. Chikku's ball.
You didn't take the ball?
Didn't take the ball.
Didn't take the ball.
You know who took the ball?
Who took the ball? Who took the ball?
That's what we're asking you.
That's what we're asking you.
You know what, Pinky?
I don't think Adrika
knows where the ball is.
MIKKU: Uh, Mira.
-A little help, please.
-Coming, guys.
Wait a second.
That flower garland
wasn't there when we came in.
It most definitely was not.
But I've seen that garland before.
Let's think this through.
Earlier today, who did we see
with the same flower garland in a crate?
We don't know, Mira.
That's why you're the Royal Detective.
MIRA: It was Ram Singh Ji!
What if Ram Singh Ji was in the house
and hung up the flower garland?
You think Ram Singh Ji has Chikku's ball?
We need to talk to him.
Adrika, do you know where Ram Singh Ji is?
Chai. Chai.
This is no time to talk about chai.
We need to get my lucky ball.
Maybe she means that Ram Singh Ji
went to get some chai.
Yeah! Let's go to the chai shop and see.
MIKKU: Finally.
CHIKKU: That's the best idea
I've heard all day.
MIRA: There's Ram Singh Ji's crate.
But no Ram Singh Ji.
-Where could he be?
-RAM SINGH: Looking for me?
(ALL SCREAM)
Hello, Ram Singh Ji, we were wondering
if you have Chikku's ball?
Describe it, please.
-It's lucky.
-And green.
Is this the ball?
Yes! That's my lucky ball.
I missed you, buddy.
I was tidying the house and picked it up.
The house hasn't been lived in for years,
so I don't think the ball
belonged to anyone.
Why were you cleaning that old house?
Because I just bought it.
I even started painting
and put up a birdhouse
for when Adrika comes to visit.
But, shh, it's a surprise for my family.
-Wow!
-That's amazing.
This is wonderful news, my good man.
We should celebrate.
Let me get you another chai.
RAM SINGH: I won't say no to that.
Mira, thanks for finding my lucky ball.
Any time, Chikku.
-Looks like the case is
-closed.
PINKY: Closed. Closed.
I really love repeating what people say.
I get why Adrika does it.
I get why Adrika does it.
Keep those eyes closed.
No peaking.
You can open them now.
Surprise.
(RAM SINGH'S FAMILY GASPS)
I bought this house for us
and I fixed it up too.
What do you think?
Oh, it's wonderful, dear.
Yay!
I love it.
Now I'll crack this coconut
to bring us luck in our new house.
Come on, let's go inside.
MIRA: I'm so happy for Ram Singh Ji
and his family.
Me too, beti.
It's just so beautiful.
It's just so beautiful.
I can't stop.
