The research is on the film Aayirathil Oruvan (2010) directed by Selavaraghavan. It is inspired loosely by the historical decline of the Tamil Chola dynasty and the rise of the Tamil Pandya dynasty. The Concept of the movie is an archaeologist goes missing when he went to search for the existence of the Chola dynasty, a team of officials are formed and go on a journey to find him where they cross a lot of hurdles and finally reach the Chola dynasty which is very surprising for them and find the archaeologist as well. The researcher has chosen the semiotic approach to analyze the movie. The researcher wants to analyze the historical perspective of the movie and identify the hidden details about the Chola king and his dynasty.
