Falling in love with a certain note or a song and reproducing it is not plagiarism, especially when you extend the credit for the same. Churning out music after listening to some CDs certainly is. That is what people like Pritam, Rajesh Roshan, Anu Malik are into.

I am not sure how many oldies actually gave official credits, also copying a song just for the heck of it or becasue you like it is still plagiarism unless rights are bought. I have heard that pritam does buy a few copyrights.
I wouldnt put Anu malik in same category as Pritam & Rajesh Roshan because you also need to consider how many compositions a composer have composed & out of that how many have been copies. Anu Malik has been giving music for roughly 20+ years now & even if copied 100 songs out of a 1000 its still a small number unlike Pritam's
You also need to keep in mind that even if copyrights are bought it still shows lack of creativity for creating new compositions & this is very common in west too, we have bands like Boyzone who hardly sang any original song, yes almost 90% if not more of their songs were cover versions but we dont seem to mind it.
