I thought I knew at least 10 such words but couldn't remember even one. So I went down the usual google rabbit-hole and found several lists. Look for auto-antonyms or contranyms. (Turns out there aren't that many of them)
The Hindi word "kal" is my favorite. Such incredible temporal ambiguity!
Piravi? Film recommendation, that is.
km: Kal is fantastic! Which leads me to Hyderabad's own spin on the word 'parsoon'. So flexible!

Heh, I got misled by the non-bollywood/tamil/telugu commercial films. I thought that meant every other kind of film! Not having watched any Tamil films for over 20 years, I can hardly advise now.
