What you will see
Kozhikode is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 16:54:51 local time, the Moon hides 46.9% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 15:57:20 and ends at 17:47:13, 1 h 50 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 27° above the horizon, towards the west, so you want a clear view in that direction from Kozhikode.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 1,605 km south-west of Kozhikode.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is El Dibir, about 2,676 km west, where totality lasts 3 m 26 s.
Totality is shortest at the edges of the path and longest along the centre line, so the further inside you go, the longer it lasts.
Eye safety guide: Never look at the Sun without certified eclipse glasses, except during totality.
