Another hit for Disney Junior
While I'm salty about the fact that The Rocketeer, a great show, was a flop, I guess this show makes up for it because it's already really popular, albeit not as good as Tots.
Animation and Art Style: The animation isn't as Pixar-esque as the Rocketeer, and is slightly rough around the edges, but is decent nonetheless. The characters all have unique designs, and the color palette is vibrant.
Writing: The writing is fine. The episodes can get a bit repetitive though because they follow the same format. I will say that the writers did do their research in regards to Indian culture, as it is very accurate.
Characters: The characters are alright. I enjoy the side characters such as Neel and Priya. Mikku and Chikku are really funny. Mira on the other hand, is kind of a Mary-Sue, but at least not completely as she's shown to struggle with filling in the shoes of a Royal Detective.
Music: I, for one, love the music. The theme song and the 'We're On The Case' song are both really catchy, and the music is properly Indian-style.
Enjoyment: It's not something I would watch every day, but it's a fun little series with some long-overdue respectful Indian representation. And I got this review out just in time for Asian Pacific Heritage Month.

Indian Inspired Show Is Great
Straight from the mind of Elena Of Avalor writer Becca Topol and Miles From Tomorrowland creator Sascha Paladino, we have a show that's really good no matter your cultural background. We have a colorful, vibrant world with fun characters and great music, all set to the beat of India (or rather the Indian inspired kingdom Jalpur). I look forward to more.

My 5 year old daughter is addicted.
Great show. No matter what you nationality or culture your kids will likely love it..and so the should. We are white British and my 5 year old daughter loves it and better still shes learning a little about Indian culture and a story with good morals from watching it, as well as some light hearted fun and entertainment. Only trouble is she currently doesn't want to watch or do much else lol.

Great Show
One of our favorite shows with our 6 year old daughter. She LOVES this show. And so do we. Mira teaches us how to use our intuitive and practiced skills to solve mysteries, explore culture, and cultivate our relationships. This show is a revolution for young girls, Indian Americans, and bridging the gap in Hollywood representation for both demographics. Mira is a shining example of the hero our daughters need!

Great show
My 4 year old loves this show. It's colorful with great music and keeps my daughter's attention. It reminds me of Sofia the First, which we also love. The characters are great and the animals are funny, it's not annoying to watch even for adults.

weird
I mean it's fine but it's repetitive and all the characters are pretty annoying and gimmicky.

Great Show Exploring Other Cultures
Our four year old loves Mira, Royal Detective. I really love how they showcase the different holidays in different regions of India and incorporates cultural aspects of everyday life into the show. It also has amazing choreography and music for kids to enjoy. Our daughter is from India and I am so glad Disney has a show that allows her to see some things from her home country.

Nothing but a scooby doo and sally bollywood rip-off
Seriously, what were they thinking, i know scooby doo is
so popular, but that dose not mean you can get away with making a ripoff, come on, so boring, and this show is about solving mysteries, wanna know what else is about solving mysteries, SCOOBY DOO AND SALLY BOLLYWOOD, OH MY GOD, Thank god i never watched it and i never will, its just a waste of time, go watch stuff like star wars and scooby doo.

On repeat
My daughter is completely obsessed with this show. We watch it a LOT. I know all the songs. It's culturally informative and also a smart show that has increased her vocabulary. She's almost 3 and she can tell you what a bansari is ("a instrument for play at a birthday party") and what a detective does ("Detective help you find things") lol.

Adorable
What a cute show! Great animation and clever storyline. The pace is good too! Sometimes I can't watch new cartoons because it's over stimulating but this was perfect! Well done!
Wait what
So this little girl (Mira) solves problems that were caused (in most part) by her sidekicks chiko and miko, at this point, she needs to get red off those sidekicks,,, but wait,,,, if she does that there will be no problems to solve PERIOD.

Our daughter has been watching this since she was 3 months old. The theme song and "we're on the case" song has become a staple tune in our household, Guaranteed to stop her crying and start her dancing in under 3 seconds. The animation is beautifully crafted and while each episode follows a similar construct it's different enough to keep even adults engaged.
While she may not understand the context she's transfixed by the bright colours, happy characters and animals. We're English living abroad and imagine we'd have a little super fan in years to come.
Confession: We often ended up find ourselves unintentionally watching it after she's gone to bed.
