MIRA: The Case of
the Mysterious Necklace.
-Hi, Mira.
-Hi, Pinky.
I have some
very excited customers
for your grooming station.
BOTH: She means us!
Hi, Mikku.
Hi, Chikku.
You're in for
a special surprise.
She means me!
ALL: Meena!
Meena is the official stylist
for my grooming station today.
That's great.
She's very talented.
I know, right?
How lucky is it that my best friend
is the best stylist in Jalpur.
-So lucky.
-Best whisker comber too.
Aw, thank you guys.
How lucky is it that my best friend
has the best grooming station in Jalpur?
Even luckier!
Best whisker washer too.
I'll get you both washed.
As soon as Meena finishes painting
Anoop she can style you.
-(ANOOP TRUMPETING)
-(ALL EXCLAIMING)
I didn't forget you, Anoop,
be right there.
Let's see.
I'm thinking pom-poms for Mikku.
And for Chikku
Beads, sequins, gems.
Ribbons.
Love it!
MIKKU: Sounds good.
As long as
these whiskers get some attention too.
-MIKKU: Bath time.
-CHIKKU: Yes.
Washa, washa, washa
Wow, Pinky, this soap smell so good.
Thanks, I make it myself
out of rosewater.
Scrubba dub dub.
Mongooses in the tub.
-Cold.
-That's cold.
MEENA: Ahem
Come on out, Anoop.
-(TRUMPETS)
-Huh.
Wait.
Wow, Meena, great job.
Looking good, Anoop.
That's one style-in elephant!
Meena, I told you that
Anoop gets painted.
Elephants don't get bows.
Well, I like the bows.
It bring out his gorgeous eyes.
(SIGHS)
-MIKKU: I've never seen Pinky, so
-CHIKKU: Pink.
But, Meena,
elephants always get painted.
Pinky, I am the stylist.
If you're not going to listen to my ideas,
then maybe I shouldn't be your stylist.
-Hold on, Meena.
-Maybe you shouldn't.
Pinky. Wait.
Okay, then I'm leaving,
as your not stylist.
Fine, and I'm taking the bows off Anoop
because elephants only get painted.
-What is happening?
-I don't know.
Uh, Meena, Pinky
maybe we should talk this through.
Still walking away.
I'm getting further away.
I am not turning around.
Meena, wait.
Pinky, Meena is your friend.
-You should talk to her.
-It's fine.
I don't need her to be my stylist.
I'm way too busy anyway.
I have to style Anoop.
(TRUMPETS)
Hey, look, Tinku is here.
-Hi, Tinku, you're to be groomed?
-(TINKU GRUNTS)
Guys, I think we should
talk to Meena.
But what of the whiskers?
We'll come back after. Come on.
(MIKKU, CHIKKU GASP)
Mira, you are not going to believe
what happened.
You decided to talk to Pinky?
I knew she'd make up
with her best friend.
No, I can't think about the fight
with my former best friend right now.
Not when something
so exciting has happened.
What happened, Meena?
I am currently the subject
and the center of my own mystery.
See this gorgeous peacock necklace?
-(ALL EXCLAIMS)
-CHIKKU: Pretty!
I've been wanting it for weeks
since I saw it at the jewelry shop.
And today it appeared
mysteriously at the door
of my mom's boutique
with my name on it.
So someone must have
given it to you as a gift.
Yes, Mira, will you please
help me find out
who gave me
such a thoughtful gift?
I need to thank them.
Of course.
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
Okay, Meena,
do you have any idea,
who would have
sent you a necklace?
I'm extremely loved in Jalpur,
so, it could be my papa, my mummy,
my sister Priya,
Kamala, since I gave her
the recipe the other day.
Dhruv, to apologize
for spilling chai on me last week.
It could even be the queen.
Ah, there are so many people
it could be.
This mystery is impossible.
How about we go
to the jewelry shop first
and see if Mrs. Kapadia
remembers who bought it?
Brilliant, I tell you.
This is why
she is the royal detective, people.
Hello, girls.
Oh, Meena, that necklace
looks so lovely on you.
Thank you, It's been
my favorite piece here for a while now.
Someone got it for me.
But I don't know who.
Auntie, do you remember who bought it?
No, I don't.
It was sold quite a while ago.
Maybe I wrote it down. Let me check.
Mikku check out this necklace.
It has a goat on it.
I know just the person
who would love this necklace.
MIKKU: Maybe as a gift
CHIKKU: From her best friend.
BOTH: Pinky!
Pinky and I are in
the middle of a fight, remember?
Mira, Meena, I didn't write it down.
I'm so sorry, girls.
(SNIFFS)
Meena, you smell so good.
Did you get
some new perfume, too?
Perfume, no, I have no idea
where that smell is coming from.
Step aside, people.
Expert sniffers coming through.
(SNIFFING)
BOTH: It's the necklace.
(SNIFFING)
Ah, It is the necklace.
But what does it smell like?
(SNIFFING)
I detect a soft,
delicate aroma with fresh floral notes.
Smells like flowers.
Flowers?
That could be a clue.
Maybe who ever
gave you the necklace,
came from a place
that smells like flowers.
-Like the flower stand?
-Exactly.
My dance teacher Shilpaji,
runs the flower stand.
She must have given me the necklace.
Why would she do that?
Uh, because I'm her
favorite dance student.
Why didn't I think of that before?
Meena, wait up. Thank you, Auntie.
Good luck.
Shilpaji, as your
number one dance student.
I just want to say that
you are my number one dance teacher.
Thank you so much for the gift.
(CHUCKLES) Well, thank you, Meena.
That's very sweet of you
to say, but what gift?
Hello, Auntie, Meena means
the peacock necklace she's wearing.
Ah, it's lovely, but I'm afraid
I don't know anything about it.
Oh, but I am your favorite
dance student, right?
Meena well you are a joy to teach,
I cannot confirm or deny
that you are my favorite
dance student.
Seems like someone is dancing
around the cold hard facts here,
wouldn't you say, Chikku?
-I would, Mikku. I would. Whoa!
-Whoa!
Auntie, this necklace
smells like flowers.
Can you tell us what kind?
Yes.
(SNIFFS) Roses.
And in fact, Meena,
your father was here earlier buying roses.
-Papa!
-Uncle Naveen!
He must've bought me the necklace.
Don't forget this.
Thank you, Auntie Meena, wait up.
-Papa.
-(LAUGHS)
Beti, what is this for?
Papa, you're the best.
First you get me
the most perfect and gorgeous necklace,
and then you get me roses.
I am so lucky.
Oh, I must get these
beautiful roses in a vase.
Naveen, thank you
for getting them for me.
Wait, the roses aren't for me?
No, I got them for your mother.
-My mother?
-Mira, Mikku, Chikku,
what's all this fuss?
So sorry. Meena, you forgot your necklace.
Thanks, Mira.
Papa, did you get me
this peacock necklace?
No, I didn't, sweetheart,
but what a wonderful gift.
Mira, how am I ever going
to thank the person who gave it to me?
If I can't figure out who they are.
Oh, we're not giving up.
To find more clues,
we need to go back to the very beginning.
BOTH: Mira, we got this.
Back to the beginning, people.
Mira, Mira, Mira
Mira, Mira, Mira
Hey!
(LAUGHING)
Guys, that's not the beginning I meant.
Meena, can you show me
exactly where you found the necklace?
Actually, I'm the one who found it.
It was in this pouch with this yellow bow.
A yellow bow, wait.
I think I know
who gave you the necklace.
Let's think this through.
Auntie Pushpa found the necklace
in a pouch tied with the yellow bow
just like the yellow bows
Meena put on Anoop
at Pinky's grooming station.
So that means the person
who left the necklace was Pinky!
Pinky gave you the necklace.
I knew it.
I knew it too.
I don't believe it.
Yellow bows could come
from anywhere.
They could,
but there's another clue.
The necklace smells like roses.
Remember?
(SNIFFS) That's the same smell
as the rose water soap
that Pinky makes
to wash the animals.
-Wow!
-Mira is a genius!
What a sweet and proper gift
that Pinky gave you, Meena dear.
Wait just a minute.
Why would she give me a gift?
We're not even friends anymore.
We had a fight.
Mikku and I fight all the time.
-We do?
-Of course, we do!
We, do not.
Oh, yes, we do.
Meena, having a disagreement
with your best friend
doesn't mean you stop being friends.
It's just temporary
Everything will be all right
It's perfectly normal
for friends to have a fight
We've all got opinions
and we like them to be heard
And in a disagreement,
it doesn't matter who has the last word.
-The last word!
-The last word!
Who's right, who's wrong
To get along
We put our differences aside
-If it's paint or bows
-Or bows or paint
Work it out you've gotta try
A friendship should be treasured
with the love that it deserves
'Cause all those things
comes second
When you put your friendship first
Yeah, all those things come second
When you put your friendship first
Chikku, I always put your friendship first
followed closely by laddoos.
Everything comes second
when you put your friendship first
Go ahead, Meena, ask her.
Pinky, did you give me
this necklace?
Yes, I bought it a few weeks ago
after you said you liked it
at the jewelry shop.
Really?
I dropped it off this morning
as a thank you gift for being my stylist.
You did?
I wanted you to have
a surprise when you got back,
but then we had a fight.
Oh, Pinky, I'm sorry,
I was angry with you.
I wasn't a very good friend today.
I'm sorry,
I was angry with you too.
I wasn't a good friend either.
Pinky, I love the necklace so much.
It's truly gorgeous, but nothing
is as fabulous as our friendship.
CHIKKU AND MIKKU: Aw!
Emotionally compromised.
Happy tears, happy tears.
Oh, and Meena,
will you please, please,
please be the official stylist
for my grooming station?
I promise to listen to all your ideas.
I would love to.
And I promise to listen
to all your ideas too.
Thank you, Mira,
for helping me today.
You're not only a great detective,
but you are the best cousin.
And a wonderful friend.
I'm so happy
you're back to being friends.
Oh, Mikku and Chikku,
you still need to get groomed.
-Yes, please.
-Clean whisker time.
We will groom you guys
after we come back.
Come on, Pinky,
I have the best idea.
Where are we going?
There, now we both have a necklace.
Oh, Meena.
I love it! Thank you!
Friendship necklaces. How great.
And you need a friendship
necklace too, Mira.
Let's pick it out together.
Oh, thanks!
Hey, Mikku, where's
my friendship necklace?
Don't have one of those,
but here's a friendship leaf.
Ah, I love it.
And here's a friendship rock
for you, buddy.
-MIKKU: You're the best!
-CHIKKU: No, you're the best.
Okay, fine, you're right,
I'm the best.
MIRA: The Great
Donkey Mystery.
We just need to add a little bit of salt
and then let the khichdi cook.
Smells delicious, Papa.
Khichdi was my favorite dish
as a boy.
Mine too.
-You've never had khichdi before, Chikku.
-That's true.
It's so nice to have
enough room to cook it.
Thank you for letting us
use your kitchen, Mr. Puri.
My pleasure, old friend.
Papa, is the salt
you want to use?
Yes, this special pink salt
is really tasty.
I always like adding it
to the khichdi.
Can I put the salt in?
Sure, Chikku.
Whoa!
Uh-oh, I dropped the salt
into this water.
You should have let me do it.
I've got this. Stand back, people.
What happened to the salt?
-It's gone.
-Where'd it go?
Salt thief?
Guys, the salt dissolved
in the water.
Yes. Even if you can't
see the salt, it's still there.
How do you know it's still there?
Oh, if you taste the water,
you'll taste the salt.
-Ugh, yeah.
-That is some super salty water.
What do we do about the khichdi?
Mr. Puri, do you have
any pink salt we can use?
I'm afraid not.
My shipment hasn't come in yet.
We'll get more from Mr. Khan.
Come on, guys.
The faster we get the salt
the faster we eat the khichdi.
(LAUGHS)
Papa, we'll be right back.
I'll be waiting, Beti.
-Hello, Mr. Khan.
-Mira. Hi.
What brings you out
on this very hot day?
-We're making khichdi.
-And we need some pink salt.
-Do you have any?
-You're in luck.
Pinky just helped me pick up a delivery
of salt from the barge this morning.
She's around the corner
with Bunty the donkey.
Hi, Mira.
I'm here with Bunty.
(BRAYS)
Thanks, Mr. Khan.
Coming, Pinky.
Bunty, buddy.
How have you been?
-(BRAYS)
-I love this donkey.
Pinky, can we get some pink salt?
Pink salt? You know
how much I love pink salt?
I mean, of course, my name is Pinky.
(CLEARS THROAT)
About that pink salt, it is lost.
BOTH: Lost?
What do you mean?
Well, I'm training Bunty to do deliveries.
We picked up the salt from the barge
and brought it to the spice shop.
Bunty did a great job too.
He was strong and fast.
-That Bunty.
-He's a dream donkey.
(BRAYS)
But when we got back
to the shop the sack was empty.
I don't know what happened. Now
there's no pink salt for the whole town.
And Mr. Khan
is going to be upset with Bunty and me.
Pinky, don't worry.
We're going to find the salt.
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
Pinky, tell me exactly
what happened.
You took Bunty to the barge
to get the salt?
Yes!
And?
Oh, you want me
to tell you everything?
Yes. Having all the details
will help me solve the case.
Well, then, follow me.
Bunty, don't worry.
Mira will find salt in no time.
Maybe after the case,
we can go on a ride together?
(BRAYS)
I think that's a yes.
I think that's a (BRAYS)
But okay.
Uh, Pinky, what are you doing?
I'm showing you
exactly what happened.
First, I skipped ahead
to the riverfront,
and Bunty followed
behind me like this. See?
(PINKY HUMMING)
-I'm following, Bunty.
-No, I'm following, Bunty.
Mira, you should skip too.
That way you'll know
exactly what I did earlier today.
Okay, then, I guess
I'm skipping on the case.
(GRUNTS)
We're here.
So, you got the salt
from a barge?
Not just any barge.
That barge over there.
Hi, Arvind.
Hi, Pinky. Hi, Mira.
Arvind helped me load
the salt sack onto Bunty.
Yes, I did.
-What's going on?
-We're on a case.
The salt is missing.
Do you know what happened?
No. The whole sack was full
when we put it on Bunty.
Hmm
(PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING)
Bunty, did you notice anything strange
when you have the sack on?
(BRAYS)
How about you, Arvind?
I didn't see anything strange, Mira.
Pinky, after you got the salt,
where did you go?
I went straight back
to the spice shop.
Or did I?
How is he sitting like that?
I don't know!
When I grow up, I want to be Bunty.
(TABLA MUSIC PLAYING)
Ooh, music.
Pinky, the spice shop is that way.
I think I went this way, actually,
while hopping on one foot.
Okay, then, we'll hop too.
PINKY: Actually, I stopped here
at the Dhobi Ghat,
when I saw pretty colors in the water.
(BRAYS)
ALL: So pretty.
-Bunty is really thirsty.
-(BRAYS)
Yeah. It is so hot today.
I'm thirsty too.
BOTH: Me too. Water break!
(GULPING)
Was the salt still in Bunty's sack
when you came here?
(GULPS) I think so.
Let's ask the Dhobi
if she saw anything.
Hi, Auntie.
Mira. Hello, dear.
Here to drop off some clothes?
Actually, Auntie, we're here on a case.
We were wondering
if you've seen any pink salt around.
Pinky stopped here earlier,
and maybe she dropped it.
I haven't seen any salt, Mira. Sorry.
That's okay. Thank you.
Auntie says she hasn't
seen any salt anywhere.
Oh, no! Did she lose her salt too?
No, she hasn't seen your salt.
Oh, that's not good.
Mira, we need to find the salt.
We must help Bunty.
We'll figure this out.
Pinky, did you go
anywhere else on your way back?
I think I went this way.
-But, then again
-ALL: Did I?
-We're just going to follow you.
-Okay, come on.
Wait, I feel like
I've been here before.
Did you stop here on your way
back from the river front?
Yes.
Why would you stop here?
Yeah, it's just a patch of flowers.
For Pari the goat!
Pari loves to eat flowers.
And I saw these ones and I just knew
that I had to get them for her.
(BRAYS)
Looks like Bunty doesn't like flowers.
Good eye, Mikku.
We won't get him flowers
for his birthday then.
Do you remember
anything else, Pinky?
(BUNTY BRAYS)
Bunty, where you going?
Can we come?
Buddy, you should come
to our place sometime.
We have great toys.
(BRAYS)
Bunty is going to be our bestie.
Bunty, Mikku and Chikku.
Ahem, Bunty, Chikku and Mikku.
-(BRAYS)
-CHIKKU AND MIKKU: Whoa!
I walked this way
to grab some of these flowers.
Oh, and then I grabbed
some of these ones.
Oh, and definitely had
to get some of these.
-Pari would love those.
-Girl, I know.
And after I got
all the flowers for Pari,
I headed straight back
to the spice shop.
Or did you?
No, I did not.
Because I had to get Bunty first,
and he was over here.
Bunty, Bunty, look,
I can do a headstand.
I can eat 20 laddoos. I'll show you.
I just need to get
20 laddoos first.
Guys, I think Bunty just
wants to drink some water.
(BRAYS)
Did Bunty drink water
from that planter last time too?
Yes, he did.
He must have been
really tired from the heat.
And from carrying that sack
of salt from the barge.
Weren't you, Bunty?
(BRAYS)
His sack is falling
into the water, and it's getting wet.
(BRAYING)
Hey, Bunty doesn't like the water.
That's 'cause it's salty.
Ugh! Too salty.
Bunty's smart.
That's why he stopped drinking it.
He's a genius.
(BRAYS)
We don't like
the water either, Bunty.
The water in the planter is salty,
just like the water you dropped the salt
into this morning, Chikku.
I was trying to help.
I know. And you just helped me
solve the case.
I did? Of course, I did.
I think I know what happened.
Let's think this through.
This morning, when Chikku
dropped the salt into a pot of water,
it dissolved.
Even though we couldn't see the salt,
the water tasted salty.
What if when Bunty
was drinking the water earlier,
the salt fell into the water
and dissolved?
That's why even though
we can't see the salt,
the water tastes salty.
-So, the salt is gone?
-(BRAYS)
It's in the water, Pinky.
You just can't see it.
What are we gonna do now?
Mr. Khan is gonna be
so disappointed in Bunty and me.
We were supposed
to be helping him.
Don't worry, Pinky.
I'm sure if you just
tell him what happened, he'll understand.
What do you think, Bunty?
(BRAYS)
Pinky
BOTH: Bunty's got this!
-Chalo, chalo. Let's
-(BRAYS)
Oh, they're already going.
Uncle, I picked up
the salt from the barge.
But it's so hot today,
Bunty got thirsty when he drank water,
the sack got wet and the salt
dissolved into the water.
And now it's gone. I'm sorry.
(BRAYING)
Pinky, slow down. It's okay.
It is? But there's no salt
for all the people in town who need it.
Well, we'll just have to grind
some more from this.
Uh, Mr. Khan, that's a rock.
Actually, this is where
the salt comes from.
It just needs to be ground first.
(BRAYS)
Bunty's right.
We can help you grind it.
We can help too.
Salt grinding helpers right here.
We got you, buddy.
(BRAYS)
BOTH: He loves us!
(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)
Thanks for helping us,
Mira, Mikku and Chikku.
(BRAYS)
-Of course, Pinky.
-Anything for Bunty.
We got your back, buddy.
That's the last of the salt.
And here's some for your khichdi.
Thanks, Pinky.
I forgot about the khichdi.
Bunty is so interesting,
he made us forget about food.
(BRAYS)
Hello, my friends.
I hope you're hungry
because there is khichdi for everyone.
(CROWD CHEERING)
BOTH: Mmm.
Khichdi's definitely my favorite.
This is delicious, Papa.
I told you, the pink salt
makes it extra special.
I think it could use a little more.
ALL: Wait, wait, wait
Okay. That's way too much.
Chikku, can I have
some of your khichdi?
Mine is way too salty.
I'm not sure why.
Uh-uh.
-(BRAYS)
-CHIKKU AND MIKKU: Bunty!
Are you here to give us
our ride?
(BRAYS)
-Yay!
-Dreams do come true.
Any time you want to speed up,
Bunty, we're ready.
CHIKKU:
We're hanging on tight. We could take it.
MIKKU: Any time now.
Is this as fast as he goes?
I don't know.
(BUNTY BRAYS)
