1) There would be 10 times as many people on the ship
2) There would be a song with Kate Winslet in a white saree and of
course singing in the rain
3) The movie would be called “Pyar Kiya To Marna Kya”
4) Hero and Heroine would float in cold water for days and still
survive, but the villian would die on the first dip
5) The iceberg would be sent by the heroine’s father to teach the hero
a lesson
6) None of the women would float due to heavy designer sarees.
7) Himesh Reshammiya could not use his nose to sing as his nose would
be running due to the cold weather condition.

And last but not least
More Than 50% of the rescue boats would be reserved for SC/ST/OBC
