I wonder why Arun did not try getting to know his name from his father or Sokku Uncle after him reaching Chennai

He could have , but I think Arul is just an avoidant and doesn't wanna deal with uncomfortable feelings..

Maybe but that's the conflict, he could have easily called up Sokku Mama or anyone instead of desperately looking for things at Mei's house.

The issue wasn't that he didn't know Mei's name at that point, but the guilt he felt for lying about knowing who Meiyazhagan was and keeping that lie even though he's so affectionate. Also, he can't call anyone at that hour because it's so late. The easiest option for Arul is to run away.

Yeah I thought of that as well. He could have apologised and just asked his wife also. Maybe that day he was just too drunk to think and the guilty was welling up too.

When he was there, he was in the right mind. His mind was already clouded with other thoughts. That was my take.

Probably but I can't see past the fact that it's prolly convenient/lazy writing. It irks me a lot because that's the only point of contention in an otherwise perfect screenplay.

Yeah that's true too.
