And as for why this is ascribing too much importance to Kamal, why is the same not being said of any other relatively offbeat venture in the late 70s or early 80s. For instance, what if 'avaL appadiththAn' had been a blockbuster?

What, I think (and I'm of course venturing into conjecture here), signifies SKV for Kamal is that he consciously chose to do the kind of films that did big business. That is, with that film, he was asserting his own star power in the wake of the big hits that Rajini and others had started delivering.
