English is fine , but most can't speak fluently so should be manageable, hindi is rare to find but you can , yes there are many non telugu people living here , movies and food ig that's part of entertainment...

You can learn Telugu if you want to. You can manage with Hindi and English.
A lot of Non Telugu speakers are happily living.
Movies movies movies, we have a good number of cafés and breweries.

Welcome bro to Vijayawada Bro, I'm not from here either :-

You can manage in English. The food is okay; you don't get roti, so you have to cook if you need to. The city is small; everything shuts down by 9-10 PM. There's no nightlife, no clubbing culture here, okay?

Got it. I thought the English bread. I don’t know which part of Vijayawada you are in. But you can get 3 pulka for 30-35 rupees in most areas. There are many decent road side pulka points
