Do we need to explicitly call a “return;” in a constructor? If Yes Then Why, I need a complete reason behind this.
I am working in PHP but I would like to know how this concept works in others as well?

You don’t have to call return explicitly in any of those languages. It is implicit at the end of the function/method body.
If you call return before the end of the body of code, you can prevent anything else from running. But you don’t want to leave the object in an inconsistent state. Instead throw an exception for an error case.
