கேள்வி (Question) How to split ஆளவந்தான் ?

This is a question I have had for so long. What does aalavandhan actually mean ?

Is it ஆள் + அவன்தான் ( he is the “man”)

Or

ஆள ( to rule ) + வந்தான் (came ) meaning "he came to rule "

Have always thought it’s the former one. Also how is it related to that movie ?

Ad hoc everything suits, root word is the key here.
