Bloodrayne 2: deliverance. Based on a video game, BloodRayne is a gory action film that's astonishingly bad. The story follows a half-vampire named Rayne who joins a secret legion of vampire hunters in order to seek revenge on the vampire lord that raped her mother. The cast, which includes Kristanna Loken, Michael Madsen. Rayne's costume was also way out of period. The movie lacked structure, flow and storyline. As much as I love vampire movies, this one was not worth the rental fee and was 30mins of my life I'll never get back (turned it off - just couldn't sit through it, that's how bad it was). Directed by Uwe Boll. With Kristanna Loken, Ben Kingsley, Michelle Rodriguez, Michael Madsen. In the eighteenth century, a vampire escapes from the freak show, in which she once participated, and teams up with a group of vampire slayers to kill the man who raped her mother. BloodRayne: The Third Reich was released in 2010 as a direct-to-DVD film. Starring Natassia Malthe as Rayne and directed by Uwe Boll. While the film shows Rayne battling Nazis in World War II as in the original BloodRayne, it is not a direct adaptation.

Early life[edit]

Born into a Kashmiri family^[2] of Gujranwala and named Mohammed Sanaullah Dar, he passed his childhood days in Kucha Sardar Shah, Mozang, Lahore. His father, Munshi Mohammad Mahtabuddin, was a railway engineer, so his family had to often move from one place to another. He lived in Kathiawar, Bostan (Baluchistan), Sanghar and Jacobabad.

Meeraji began composing poetry, under the pseudonym of Sasri, when he was at school. It was from his later encounter with a Bengali girl, Meera Sen, who was a daughter of an accounts officer serving in Lahore, that he fell deeply in love.^[3] This left a permanent trace in his life that he adopted his pen name on her name.^[4] Though brought up in affluent surroundings, Meeraji left his home and family and chose to lead the life of a homeless wanderer, mostly staying with his friends and making a living by selling his songs.^[5] Julien Columeau^[6], a French novelist who also writes in Urdu and Hindi has authored a very unusual but engaging short novel on the life of Meeraji.^[7]

Literary life[edit]

Meeraji was associated with Adabi Duniya (Lahore), and later worked for All India Radio, Delhi. He wrote literary columns for the monthly Saqi (Delhi) and for a short period helped editing Khayal (Bombay). After Partition, he settled permanently in Bombay.

From his teenage days, Meeraji felt attracted towards Hindu mythology. He often used Hindi vocabulary in his poetry, prose and letters. He acknowledged his debt to the Sanskrit poet Amaru and the French poet Baudelaire. He also translated certain works of the Sanskrit poet, Damodar Gupta and of the Persian poet, Omar Khayyam.

Meeraji is considered to be one of the pioneers of symbolism in Urdu poetry, and especially introducing Free Verse. Along with N. M. Rashid, he was a leading poet of the group Halqa-e Arbab-e Zauq, which broke away from the classic convention of radeef and qafia, explored the rich resources of blank verse and Free Verse, rejected the confines of the socially 'acceptable' and 'respectable' themes, rejected the stranglehold of Persianised diction, and explored with sensitivity and skill, the hitherto forbidden territories of sexual and psychological states. He also wrote illuminating criticism of poetry and yearned to alter the expression of his age.^[8]

Works[edit]

Meeraji's literary output was immense but he published very little of his poetry during his lifetime. However, Khalid Hasan, in his article 'Meera Sen's forgotten lover,'^{[citation needed]} records that during Meeraji's lifetime four collections of Meeraji's works were published by Shahid Ahmed Dehlavi, and one by Maktaba-e-Urdu, Lahore. His complete works Kulliyat-e-Meeraji appeared only in 1988 edited by Dr. Jameel Jalibi.Dr Jameel Jalibi again edited the Kulliyat and published in 1994 from Lahore with all his remaining works. Another collection titled Baqiyat-e-Meeraji was edited by Sheema Majeed in 1990. A book titled 'Iss Nazm Mein' containing Essays of Meeraji was published during his lifetime.

1. 'Geet he Geet (songs)

14. 'Nigar Khana (translation)

Personality[edit]

Meeraji adopted a deliberately outlandish style in his dress, sporting long hair, a dagger-like mustache, oversize earrings, colorful headgear, an amulet and a string of beads around his neck. Mehr Lal Soni Zia Fatehabadi, his poet friend and former class fellow, recalled that the only time Meeraji trimmed his long hair was when he joined All India Radio, New Delhi.^[9]

Death[edit]

Akhtar ul Iman, his poet friend, who was himself influenced by Meeraji and Noon Meem Rashid, and with whom Meeraji spent the last days of his life in Poona and Bombay, reported that his excessive drinking, cigarette-smoking, and sexual dissipation had drained away his strength and damaged his liver. Then, there came the additional agony of his psychic ailment, for which he had to be admitted to hospital where he was given electric shocks to cure him of his insanity -- a treatment which he dreaded. The end came at 4 p.m. on 3 November 1949, in King Edward Memorial Hospital in Bombay.
